A day Away

Oh Geez,  I have been blogless for many days now.  It has not been due to lack of bizzyness.  There has been a garage sale, more accurately, a porch sale.  We had our valuable "stuff" on the porch all week and nobody stopped, stole, or sold.  The day before the big sale, people finally came.  They always buy the things that you least expect anyone to want.  It was a great success and folks are funny and full of good stories.

     We survived and took the remains to the Goodwill donation site.  I now consider myself completely rid of things that have been useless to me and will make someone else happy.  Really, a great cathartic event.

     As a reward, we took a day and went to the very BIG Winstar Casino on the OK/TX border for senior day.  It includes a large breakfast, a large lunch buffet, and lots of free play for penny pinchers.  The Casino hotels were sold out. (There are 2,000 rooms), so we stayed in a America's Best Hotel in Gainsville, TX.  Now, it was a bargain and run by Indians.  Real Indians from India.  The room was super clean and well incensed with something that smelled like old roses.  It was all fun and we are now back home.  Boo stayed by himself for 24 hours.  (We could not go in the RV because the step is stuck in the down position).  Herb's next mystery project.

    Anyway, I have pics of the sea of grey in the cavernous breakfast buffet room where they normally play Bingo.  More to Come.  Cindy, Herb, and Boo too
