Me in front of the Lucy and Desi Museum in Jamestown, New York

Saturday June 6th we got off work early and Eva had to go to the Lucy and Desi Museum in Jamestown, NY where Lucy grew up. It was about an hour away from Olean so Eva, Debbie, Jana, Mike W, and I drove there and paid the $5 admission and went in. It was smaller than I'd imagined, but it had a good representation of her life. There were large panels all around the room that chronicled her and Desi's lives from the time they were born until they died. In the middle of the room there were cases that showed off some of her clothing and accessories. At the back of the room was a projector and chairs to sit in and watch movies about them and with them in them. The front had a souvenier shop. After we were done there we decided to walk the downtown area and take pictures of the Lucy and Desi murals. We ate at Taco Hut and then left Jamestown.

On our way back to Bradford we stopped at the Seneca-Allegheny casino and played for about a hour. No one won anything except Debbie. She won $60.
