Oh the horrible sorrow

Elmo and Eric watched a ballgame on TV and well....UK lost to West Virginia after both teams played horribly! Elmo thinks the pictures tell it all!

Eric couldn't bare the fact that Elmo had to watch that game!

OH THE PAIN! It was just too painful to watch TV even after it was over!


 
Need Elmo say anymore?

Elmo watches UK win a tournament game

Elmo and Eric went over to DJ and Kristyn's house to watch UK play Cornell.


Misty (DJ and Kristyn's blue heeler) and Grace (Kristyn's mom's dog) was checking out Elmo. Misty has a VERY loud bark! Elmo is not sure he likes dogs....

Misty wasn't impressed with Elmo anymore, but Winston loves him!


Misty, Grace, and Winston pose with Elmo while all 4 show off their UK clothes!


Elmo still isnt sure he likes dogs but he does like the lil dog! Thanks DJ and Kristyn for having Elmo and Eric over. Elmo did like watching the game and snuggling with Winston on the couch!


Love Elmo

Elmo goes to Friday night dinner with the Church Group

Elmo was a big hit at Jessica's birthday party, so no surprise he was a big hit at the weekly Friday Night Dinner sponsored by Embrace Church  and hosted by Rev. Roz.


 

Scott holds up Elmo for all to see. Jordan is enthralled with something else. HA!




Nancy is curious where Elmo got his cool UK basketball shirt. . . . .Yeah, that's the story we're going with.



Nancy's job as an R.N. kicks in and she cradles Elmo like a patient!


Elmo had a really great time with Eric's friends for Friday Night Dinner and hopes he gets to go back again soon.!

Elmo is still enjoying him self with Eric and more posts to come soon

Love Elmo

Elmo learns BlackJack!

Boy oh boy Elmo has some stories to tell you!! Elmo is still with Eric, and Elmo thinks this is really neat because Elmo has been learning how to play Black Jack! Elmo didn't know what Black Jack was, but Eric has taught Elmo how to play! Elmo thinks that Las Vegas might be his next stop.

Elmo thinks Eric has done  a wonderful job on the story too!

Posing in Eric's  Casino

Eric questions the Candian money that Elmo bought to the table.

Elmo bought in for $500 (after the exchange rate to US$) , I suspect Shannon gave him some mad money before he left Canada.




NICE! Blackjack on the first hand! Elmo wins $7.50 on his $5 bet!

In the Vegas casino's (where Elmo's host Eric lived for 12 years) gamblers get free drinks. Elmo chose bottled water since he's a good boy, Eric just rolled his eyes.




NO NO ELMO! You don't split 10's!




OMG, he won by splitting 10's and won $50 on his $50 bet! That rarely happens, other players at the table would have been mad and shocked at the same time!




Eric, the dealer, asked Elmo if he'd like to make the table a higher limit table, Eric explained that this would prevent the cheap $5 inexperienced players from joining and messing up his mojo.




Eric transforms into a high limit dealer and puts on the standard tuxedo and bands his long hair back.

NICE! First big bet and Elmo gets a blackjack and wins $450 on his $300 bet!




Eric LOVES Elmo, he tips well!




Elmo just can't lose! After going through 2 shoes (6 decks of cards all mixed together), he's playing with $5000 chips! (blue ones) He's got a 19 and a 18 showing against the dealer's 10 . . .




Eric is in shock when he plays the dealers hand.




The dealer busts with 24 and Elmo wins $20000 on his 2 separate $10000 bets! The orange chip is worth $25000.




Elmo shows off his massive stash of chips! 175k in orange, 50k in blue, 14k in yellow, 6500 in pink, 2000 in black, 125 in green, 10 in white, 25 in red for a total of $247,660




YIKES! Elmo that was $100,000 bet and you lost!




Oh dear, Elmo is down to $60 and he's got 11 and the dealer is showing a 6! Maybe this is the time he comes back?!?!?! Double down Elmo! DOUBLE DOWN against that 6!




OH CRAP! The dealer drew a 21 and Elmo had 15! UGH! Eric assured him that he was there to comfort him on his massive roller coaster ride of winning to losing.




uh oh. Elmo misunderstood the comforting Eric was talking about. The cocktail waitress came by and she thought he meant SOUTHERN comfort. Not the kind of comfort Elmo either wanted or needed!




Eric REALLY needs to comfort him now. So sorry Elmo, that cocktail waitress is FIRED!




Eric and Elmo in the good times of his nearly quarter of a million dollar run.

Elmo had a fantastic time learning how to play Black Jack and wonders if Roulette is next on the agenda??



Stay tuned for more of Elmo and Eric's fun times!!

Love from Elmo!

Elmo and Eric!

Wow Elmo is sooooo happy to be back in the land of the living and with Eric. Elmo was so glad to get out of that box and meet his new friend. Elmo had heard so much about Eric and Elmo just couldn't wait to meet him. Elmo hopes Eric will teach him alllll about cars and football.


Elmo is now in Kentucky and is having so much fun! The first thing Eric did for Elmo was got him some new clothes. Elmo thinks he has more clothes than anyone else now!! Elmo is very sytlish.


Eric follows some team called UK. They play that funny American Football. Elmo is used to Lauren watching AFL. Elmo hopes Eric will teach him alll about American Football now that Elmo has the clothes for his new favourite team.

Tonight was Jessica's 25th Birthday and Eric made Jessica a yummy chocolate cake.
Elmo went to the party with Eric and got me meet lots of really nice people. They made Elmo feel so welcome.

Elmo and the boys

Eric, Rev. Roz, Scott, Levi, Carey, Andrew, and Brady.



Elmo had a great night at Jessica's birthday party and really liked meeting Eric's friends.  Elmo is so tired now after that big party that Elmo needs to go to bed.
 
Eric says that there is lots of things to do and see in Kentucky and Elmo needs to rest up so he can have lots of energy to go exploring with Eric.
 
Elmo wants to say a big thank you to Shanny for having Elmo for Christmas and showing him the wonderful sights in her home town. Elmo is glad to go south to warmer weather now though!
 
Love Elmo
