...was the third travel day from the Winstar Casino (The Inn) at Thackerville OK to the Linder residence at Canyon Lake TX. Oklahoma roads leave much to be desired. No matter where we are if we encounter a stretch of bad road we say they went to the Oklahoma School of Roadbuilding. Texas has good roads, always has.
It was a smooth ride to Canyon Lake, and it has been a great time getting all the news about people we mutually know with Terry and Lisa. We found out they will return to the Rio Grande Valley in February, staying for a month at Alamo Rose. We also have friends Sherri and Sam coming to the valley in late March for three or four days with us in Trophy Gardens.
My Butt: It does seem to be getting gradually better. It doesn't bother me to sleep at all. Tylenol Extra Strength has become my new best friend. I can stand and walk without pain, but sitting is another ball of wax. Jason told me that a guy he worked with who had an injured coccyx was that way; he could stand at work all day but sitting was a problem. I don't have proof but I do think that is what I am dealing with.
To back up a bit, we stopped in Mineral Wells, Texas for breakfast yesterday and we asked a woman on the street where would be a good breakfast place. She said "Happy Days Diner" and she was right! They had a senior menu with $8 meals and we both had an omelet. It was perfect in every way. Mineral Wells was a thriving city in the past with a huge hotel. They are doing their best to revive their town, much like Jefferson IA. I did think Jefferson could do a thing with a Barbie theme. Most of Jefferson was shocked to find that "Barbie" was such a draw. A Barbie themed restaurant would be great if we could get it off the ground! That and staying open on weekends.
We like to take HWY 281 to get to South Texas and it has been newly refurbished. What a smooth ride!!
Next stop, the Rio Grande Valley either Thursday or Friday.
