A little serendipity and luck

gridloreKirsten and I are quickly approaching our 20th wedding anniversary.
Yeah, me too. How did this happen?
Anyway, due to my ongoing health problems our plans for the big day were getting severely trimmed. I think we were making reservations at Wendy's, but don't quote me on that. But now things have changed. Kiri stays at Reno hotels when coming back from That Thing In The Desert, and compulsively signs up for mailing lists, rewards programs, etc. That paid off. She got an offer for two free nights at the Grand Sierra Resort, and among the available days was a block covering our anniversary (May 4th, if you've forgotten/never knew/never cared)
Jumping on that! A nice little vacation, a chance to scope out sites for Renovation later this summer. The only thing we're actually paying for is a "Dinner and a Movie" package. Which brings up a delicate subject...
Money is still really tight. We'll be able to get up there and back, and we won't starve, but if anyone would like to contribute a little to help us enjoy this special event, we'd be thankful. This isn't a crisis, so no one should feel in any way obligated. Like I said, it would just be nice to have a bit of a cushion.
Anyone wishing to help, the usual suspect is handling things at purplekoosh@gmail.com
Please don't feel that anyone has to contribute. This is an absolute luxury thing. Thanks in advance to anyone who can spare a few bucks.
Twenty years? Can we get a second opinion on that?
