Friday February 27th

Nicely settled in to Harrah's. The beds are nice and comfortable and the rooms are clean. Here is a picture from our room looking across the river to Omaha City, Omaha. What you see in the foreground is Harrah's outdoor amphitheater, where they hold outdoor concerts when the weather is good.



Had a good breakfast in the restaurant downstairs and then went into the casino. It's nice in the morning because it is not too crowded.

The morning was good...how good I'll explain in a few minutes.

We took the shuttle to the Horseshoe in the afternoon...funny part is Katie seems to do well at Harrah's and I seem to do well at Horseshoe. This is not the first time this has happened.

To make a long story short...between yesterday and today...with me pulling my weight for a change at the Horseshoe....we are net profit of $1,160.

Now on to other news...

We have been watching the weather for driving purposes. Things not looking good for Saturday. They were pretty terrible on Friday afternoon in the Dallas Fort Worth area. Freezing rain, sleet and snow, a couple of the Interstates including ours shut down, and 20 car pileups. Snow and ice predicted for Oklahoma City for Saturday as well.

Katie and I discussed it, and although we could probably make it, the risk is not worth the reward. Last thing we need if for someone who doesn't know how to drive in this weather to do something stupid and cause a major accident. Not only would we not be able to get the car fixed right away, but we could be injured or killed.

Looking at the travel weather on Sunday, looks better than Saturday, with the temps warming up a bit. By the time we get to Oklahoma City looks like it will be over freezing so that the roads should be melting, along with the cars on the road, and the fact they plough the highways well.

So we got another free night here at Harrah's, and to thank them for that, we will try and take some more of their money.

Hoping that travel to Denton Sunday looks good enough.

more later....

Every Year for the past few years, Katie and I journey to Pharr, Texas, where we have a mobile home in Paradise Park. We also sponsor three girls in Nuevo Progeso, Mexico, so they can go to school. We travel to Mexico to see the kids, with Sr. Maureen Crosby who runs the program and our friends Ken and Vickey, who are Sr. Maureen's constant helpers. Starting last year we also go by ourselves several times
