CANYON LAKE, TX

We moved about two miles to the casino campground. Very nice resort. Paved sites with patios and tables. More gambling. For those of you not on facebook I have copied a post to here:

finally a great day at the casino!!!!!!! walked out with over $260, but won a lot more. Just gave it back. Senior breakfast tomorrow.......free, under 55...$15.95. You get $10 in free play if you play $20. If you stay here, or, men on Monday, Women on Tuesday, seniors on Wednesday and Thursday. Great place. Winstar casino in Thackerville, OK. 500,000 square foot casino. Loosest slots of any Indian casino I have ever been in......
 
 
Went back to casino again and wanted to play poker. They have a large number of tables and various price ranges. I wanted to play for $1-2 dollars. Played slots for a while breaking even and then went in they had an open seat in the 1-2 game. Cashed in $100 which made me the smallest stack at the table. Got in a good hand right away and won, than won another one a few minutes later bringing me up to $270. But the big stacks were raising too much. Finally just quit $123 up.
After the post on the casino I got a reply from old friend and ex boss Sam, saying he and another old friend were in Texas making customer calls. I called Sam and we made arrangements to meet him at his plant in Carrolton, TX.  Had a nice visit with Sam and Brian  and made plans to meet in Tennessee next spring at Sam's house.
Spent the nght somewhere about 150 miles down the road and moved on Friday to the Corp of Engineers (COE) park on Canyon lake called Potters Creek. They were full at 11am, but the lady on duty said that the park across the lake (2 miles as the crow flies) had sites available, but it was a 26 mile drive.
We are now at Cranes Mill COE and it is very very nice. New park with very large, paved sites with a paved patio and picnic shelter. Jim and Bobbie are next door. Linda called our niece Ally who lives, with her husband Paige, in San Antonio. They came up Saturday and we had a very nice visit with them. We made supper, and Bobbie made an apple pie.
We made plans to meet them at a restaurant in San Antonio one day this week.
May take a day trip to Fredericksburg, which is about 60 miles from here to see what is going on.
Will move to Whitsett on Friday and stay in the yard until we get an assignment.
Jim and Bobbie will move on to Alabama for a couple of months and meet us at Bettys February 6th for the month of Mardi Gras.
Take care, have a great week
Love to all of ya
Jim and Linda
