We are back on the road again!

Spent the summer hanging out with family. Our son Jeff and wife Lorie moved their business to a new larger building. We spent time watching the grandsons, Jamie and Jordan. We also spent time with my brother Tom, wife Peg and nephew Randall. Also helped with a 25th wedding anniversary party for Linda's brother Kelly and wife Debbie, hosted by their son Brandon.

We left South Bend, IN on Monday morning heading for Thackerville, OK where we would meet up with dear old friends Jim and Bobbie. Had planned on making the 960 mile trip in three days. First stop was supposed to be in East ST. Louis, IL at a casino, but it was closed for the winter, so we kept driving and driving. Finally ended up in Cuba, MO after a 442 day trip. I think this was a record or almost record driving day towing the trailer.
Tuesday we started out with plans to spend the night in the Tulsa, OK area, but had a hard time finding a place to stay, so moved on thinking of spending the night around Oklahoma City....finally said the hell with it....and kept on driving and driving and driving some more.
We ended up in Thackerville after driving 553.8 miles, shattering any previous record. We were warmly met by Jim and Bobbie and had a few cocktails in celebration of our reunion.
Today was a quiet day, with a 20 mile trip to Wal-Mart.

I picked Thackerville as they now have a 500,000 square foot casino with a campground. We had reservations at their campground, but Bobbie found another campground a couple of miles away that was cheaper, so we are staying there.

Jim and I went to the casino tonight to check it out and play a little slot. They have a free 55+ breakfast buffet on Wednesday and Thursday, so we will check it out tomorrow.
Plan is to stay here until next Monday. We have sent for mail, and hope it will arrive than.

Glad to be back on the road again. But not looking forward to two months of gate guarding. But the money will come in real helpful.
Take care
Love to all of ya
Jim and Linda
