Connections connections. Ways to connect with D&E Casino Services

Well Folks, the social media marathon continues. I recently discovered a new social media platform called Pinterest. Ok, maybe I am behind the times in this late discovery.. but oh my, I am now obsessed. What a great way to organize your thoughts, find new products or services, and develop a portfolio of online interests. Given this new obsession, I started thinking about the importance of social media from a busness perspective and a personal perspective, At this point, businesses are obsolete without a social media presence. The same way that individuals organize their social calendar and explore new avenues, businesses use social media to announce special events and connect with new business partners or consumers. The expanded oppurtunities that social media can provide are really quite brillant. Flex your social media(SM) power and explore some new SM platforms!  Check out the ways you can connect with D&E casino through SM.

Spring is Stunning

One swallow does not make a spring.
ebirds are a sign of spring; warm weather
and gentle south breezes they bring.
In spring, no one thinks of the snow that fell last year.
Don’t say that spring has come until you can put
your foot on nine daisies.




Spring-time sweet!


The whole Earth smiles, thy coming to greet.

St. Patty's Day! A collection of party ideas....

Ahoy there readers!

As I announced to my boyfriend Saturday, my Irish descent indicates that I must celebrate St. Patty's Day. He retorted by questioning what percentage of my bloodline is Irish......Well maybe 10% ??????

Nonetheless! This Saturday is St. Patty's Day and I feel quite inclined to partake in the festivities.

Assumabley you all will celebrate the day also. Perhaps at an Irish pub or restaurant? Here is an idea: A St. Patrick's Day Party!!!

FYI Traditional Garb is not required. 
An Irish-inspired party is more than easy to pull off, just simply add green! Ok, just kidding.... Well sort of ;)

First up folks, lets think about decor. Perhaps rainbow accents?



Pot of gold party favors?

Fill a terracotta pot with gold-wrapped chocolate or candies, next bend multi-colored pipecleaners into a dome shape and position inside the pot for a fun rainbow.
For your Irish menu, think potatoes, corned beef and hash, with Irish soda bread!
