Safe and Sound in Denton Texas

Friday, February 28, 2014

Yesterday we took the shuttle over to the Horseshoe Casino which is also owner by Harrah's which is owned by Caesars in Las Vegas.

We like this one a bit better than Harrah's new Casino, because it is bigger. Katie as usual did her thing and massaged the machines to pay off. She keeps me with enough winnings, so that I can make a few bucks as well. It was a bit hard slugging, and we found they are not as loose as the Casinos in Winnipeg...but...at the end of the day $800 US net to add to the day before. So the total is $1,480...pretty darn good for two days fooling around.

A pretty site!

Didn't have a great sleep again as the furnace in the room has a strange rumbling noise every once in a while. We had the maintenance guys have a look, but of course it did not do it when they were there. I thought I would be very tired for the 10 hour drive to Denton today, but I surprised myself and I drove the whole way with little trouble feeling too tired. We were on the road by 8AM and arrived in Denton at 5:45PM. It was -5C when we left Council Bluffs and +28 when we arrived in Denton.

We checked into the Best Western Premier where we always stay in Denton, and are going to hunker down for the night, as we are both tired.

Tomorrow we hope to be on the road no later than 8AM, sooner if possible, as we want to take the Ft. Worth bypass early to avoid the traffic later on.

We have about an 8 hour drive to our Mobile Home, in Paradise Park, Pharr, Texas. We are looking forward to getting settled.

We heard from Sister Maureen, and we will meet her at the nuns residence on this side of the border, on Monday afternoon, and go with her, and Ken and Vickey, and we will get to see our girls!!! Yes!!!
It will be very interesting to see their new "upscale" temporary residence. We just hope they have windows and doors installed now, and electricity and water.
