Mother's Day

The current growth of our Banana Plantation: the Mysore is approx. 4" high, the Brazilian Dwarf is just a bud and the Texas Star has not yet budded. Still having a few problems growing the Thai Chili's. Forgot to season the seedlings before planting and they got sunburned and mostly died. Will plant some more seeds and try it again. So far only a few have survived.

Ananda, Adinda and I go swimming almost every day. Took the solar cover off for a day a couple of times but had to put it back on again. The nightly temperatures are still in the 50's and this year it has been overcast a lot more than usual not allowing enough sun for the Solar heater by itself to keep the pool warm. Water temperature usually 84 degrees.

Have been busy getting used to sleeping during the day with the change in shifts at the Luxor. Rumor has it that MGM is going to hire additional dealers and make the existing Extra Board full time. The Cactus garden has been neglected and needs attention. still have to complete the unfinished corner. The weed blocker fabric only slows down some of the weeds. I am going to try to use weed killer.

The front yard grass looks better but still needs to fill in. Haven't figured out how to stop the neighbor's cat from using our planters for his restroom.

And lastly, still working on figuring out how to trade the Forex market. Purchased 4X Made Easy software and am currently paper trading with some successes but not yet to the point of using real money.
