November so far.......

We left Ashdown, Arkansas and drove Northwest into Sallisaw, OK, picked up Manuel's Mom, Viola, and took her with us to spend the week at Bears Den Resort in Grove, OK.  We visited, played on the computers and added stuff to and updated her computer.  Took her to the casinos there and met Jack and Melba Shadwick for a pig out dinner at Golden Corral.  They invited us over the next day for cat fish dinner, then on Saturday a bunch of the cousins got together at their house and had another pig out of our own. On Sunday some friends of ours Bob and Opal came to Bears Den and we took off together the next day. We are going to travel together for the rest of November.
 Dropped Viola off at home and went down to Lake Texoma for a week.  I did something to my back one morning just getting out of the chair................is that called old age????? Anyway better now.  We moved down to Lake Conroe for four days.  It is 82 degrees here and loving it.  We drove into Huston today and went through PPL.  For you guys that don't know what that is, it is one of the biggest used moter home sales dealerships in the USA.....We have looked for years online at their inventory.  Houston is a beautiful town, lots of trees and OMG the roads here are something else..................... the exits and onramps are like side roads and then a quick left onto the road............ Most of the people in Houston don't use their blinkes, and they still smoke in restaurants...................but Opal wants to move her......especially after we heard the temp at home.... glad we are here right now..... anyway. We to Huntsville yesterday to the Sam Houston memorial, and the prison museum.
Also went to see the house made out of Beer cans, will put pictures on later of this.  I know we go look at some strange things...... but we have fun.
