We spent a wonderful 10 days in the St. Louis area. Barb had a chance to visit with her mom everyday. We also spent time visiting with family and friends. It was good to see everyone and catch up with news. We are pleased that everyone is doing well.
We left St. Charles on Sept 24 and started on our month-long trip back to Apache Junction. Our first stop was just outside of Joplin, actually on the border of Missouri and Oklahoma. It is the first Oklahoma Indian casino we come to. They have RV parking with hook-ups. We stayed there for several days.
And then we moved on to our next casino, the Lucky Star Casino, in Concho, OK. It is located about 30 miles west of Oklahoma City. This casino is Barb's favorite since it has poker tournaments every day, sometimes twice a day. And I spend my days catching up on computer stuff and paying bills and most important, reading.
We are at Lucky Star now and will be here for several more days. When we leave here, we will head to Albuquerque for the Balloon Festival. And from there , we go to Sedona for a few day.
We should arrive at our destination, Apache Junction, no later that Oct 23.
Safe travels to all of you , no matter where you journey in life.
Love and hugs,
Barb and Linda

Sept. 6: Effingham , IL
We finally left Decatur on Friday. Traveled 80 miles to a casino..........no surprise there!
Barb played a new type of poker. They had e-poker tables. No dealer. Everything was electronic. Much like the online poker rooms only she sat at a table with other players. The cards were dealt electronically and showed on the center of the table. Her cards would only show when she placed her hands over the cards. She did all of her bidding electronically. It was a new experience and we wonder if this will be the "wave of the future." It was a "no limit" game but she had fun.
We are now about 120 miles from St. Louis. We will be staying at Sundermeier's Rv park in St. Charles. Barb will be able to spend time with her mom again and that is a good thing. Her mom is doing well but is really looking forward to spending time together. And we are looking forward to seeing her.
Love and hugs,
Barb and Linda

Sept. 3rd: We are still in Decatur
Well, we thought we would be gone from Decatur by now, but , well, we just thought, well, we thought of a few more items they could check on while we were here. In particular, they have a "rain room" that they put the motorhome in for about an hour. And then it rains, storms. Great way to check for leaks. And, of course, they found some. So we had them fix a few slight leaks in the front windshield, door and bay compartments. Better to find them now than on the road.
It seems the longer we stay , the more we find for them to work on. I think we better leave soon or the next thing you know we will be having them rip up the carpeting and doing a total redecorating !!!
