Another Day With Friends

This morning we woke up to much warmer temperatures here. We did not need the fireplace nor the heat in the bathroom and certainly not the furnace. Hey what more could you ask for? I heard that more of the Al Gore Warming was coming and we would be using all the heat at our disposal to stay warm....but until then I am going to enjoy this.

Sherri had some more shopping to do today and I had my TV project so we got on up and got the coffee started...in our new Cuisinart coffee maker...which by the way is working just fine. We sat in front of the fireplace for just a short while and discussed our move to Wills Point. We will be staying there for two weeks so we had to be sure we had a list of groceries and all the fixens for Christmas dinner.

With that taken care of it was time to get our showers and ready ourselves for the day. Part of the days plan was to meet some of the Dreamers up in Oklahoma at the Windstar Casino for some lunch and gambling. Well maybe not gambling...but some serious game playing. It sounds so wasteful to say I gamble...when in fact I play video games that cost money and in some cases pay me to play them. Now doesn't that sound less devilish?? LOL Anyway back on subject...we are to meet Dortha and Mark and Ellie and Jim at 2:00 for late lunch and then spend the rest of the day just having fun.

Sherri finished getting ready and headed out to the mall and I started my TV project. Man getting that thing changed out is no easy task. All the wires that have to go to those things is mind boggling! In here...out there...audio...vidio GEEEE OK stay calm and do it right. Viola about 1 1/2 hours later I had here done and working...yes...working. I am absolutely amazed at myself for getting it back on the wall and W O R K I N G...lets hear it for Speedy.

Sherri returned around 12:30 and we got our selves together and headed to Oklahoma. I had to stop along the way and pick me up an extension cord for the RV. That did not take long and we were back on the road when the phone rang. It was Dortha and she reported to Sherri that the guys...Jim and Mark were starving to death. They were about at the casino and were going to go ahead and eat. We were about 30 minutes away so she told them not to wait that we would be there shortly and then we would eat and visit.

As things turned out we did have a wonderful visit while Sherri and I stuffed our faces and Jim and Mark ate deserts. Dortha and Ellie are on WW and they are looking soooo good. They have lost a lot of weight. Jim and Mark well they are doing just fine...LOL Like me they are healthy looking. Sherri and I really need to lose some pounds but we are going to wait until we both retire and get a routine down that will allow us to stay on a good eating plan. It is hard when you both work and you are trying to eat right. Sherri eats out a lot when she is out of town working and I have to do for myself here so dieting is not something we can do and do right at this time. But stand back we will be looking good when we hit the road!

Jenny told me if I did not get any pictures that she was going to fire me so I did get some as we were all leaving the casino. When we got outside the temps had dropped 20 degrees and you talk about cold!!! My gosh it was C O L D and the wind....OHHH. Anyway I did get some hurried shots off before my hand froze to the camera.

Ellie is screaming... "Speedy hurry up I need to get in the car"!!!

Dortha is in the back seat of our truck shopping for doll clothes. I know it is a long story and I will

let her tell it.

Mark waits patiently in his Jeep while Dortha shops. It was just too cold to get out and pose for pictures...sorry everyone. We did have a fun time and Sherri and I can't wait until we get to do this on a regular basis without having to go back to work at the end of the day.

At lunch Ellie presented Sherri and I with a Christmas gift she had purchased while on Mackinac

Island. Ellie thank you so much...you remembered that I wanted some. Sherri and I will enjoy this for some time to come....
