Hollywood casino, Robinsonville, MS

Hi

How are ya’ today?

Coming here from Arkansas, we came across the Mississippi river. We came across the old bridge which is narrow and, well, old. They are building a new 4 lane stayed cable bridge down river. It is always fun to cross over bridges, but some of them, like this one tend to pucker up your butt cheeks as the lanes are very narrow. Luckily we did not meet a semi or rv coming from the other way.

Linda managed to get a couple of pictures of the new bridge between the girders of the old one.

We have enjoyed our time here with old friends Rose and Leroy. The last time that we saw them was about a year ago. We went to the Escapee rally in Sedalia, Missouri with them and it ended up as a mud hole….we both had to get towed out. Leroy loves to gamble and was kind enough to get our rv stay comped for us. He was also very lucky Saturday night. He won $5000 on a dollar slot machine!!!!

Gambling wise, I have had an up and down stay. One day I was up $180 and than lost most of it the next day. Late Saturday night I regained most of what I had lost, and than Yesterday I lost most of it back again.  Tonight is my last time to get ahead. (you have to think positive!!) We were going to leave on Wednesday, but Linda is getting antsy to see family, so we are leaving tomorrow.

We had a rain storm again yesterday and about dark I looked out and the sky was a strange shade of yellow/orange. Got some pictures out of the window thru the rain drops…

It is about 640 miles back to South Bend, so we will make a stop tomorrow afternoon about half way.  It has been a year since we have see family and are both looking forward to see them again.

 

Have a great day

love to all of ya

Jim and Linda

  1. How about a photo of Rose and Leroy so I can put a face to their names, please.

    Weird yellow sky you had there.
