BEACH HOUSE AND SLOT MACHINES

Just returned from the Beach House, and Louisiana.  We went down Wednesday, to miss the thunderstorms, and had a wonderful 2 days in the sun.  Lovely weather for March.  We couldn’t sit out on Saturday, as it was very windy, and cool.  It rained a bit, and we just stayed in the cabin.  Of course, I wanted to be rested for the trip to the Casino..well, I did!!!

We went into Beaumont on Sunday morning, and left the husbands to try our luck on the slots at Delta Downs.  We should have stayed at the beach.  Somehow, those machines usually win, and as my sister-in-law says “We may as well mail them our money!!!”  hahah  There is still a lot of work going on there, as during the hurricane the roof had a lot of damage, and the place where we ate, was eradicated!!!   But, slowly, I think they are getting it done.  Actually, the food is so horrible down in the lobby, that I think I might have lost a pound.  (I have to remember that, when I gain it back..I will just tell everyone I need to go on a diet..in Louisiana!!!)


We had fun, and returned to the Beach yesterday afternoon.  The trip home today was awful.  Nearly 5 ½ hours.  Does everyone drive their cars on Tuesdays, in Houston???  We had traffic, and a wreck..missed the ferry by 3 minutes going to Galveston, and 30 minutes later we were on 45 heading West.  It was a zoo.  I am glad we are here..and I can tell you, Kitty Ashby is so happy to see me, she has helped me type on the computer all afternoon!

Well, visits are great, but there really isn’t anywhere like home.  I love the beach, but am always glad to get back to Austin.  

We watched the Horns play basketball…we listened to the Horns play Tech 2 games in Lubbock, and tomorrow night, we will go watch Rice try to beat Texas.  We have played them well the past few games..and I hope tomorrow is no different.  Hook ‘em Horns, and Good Luck to YOU, if you are going SLOTTING!!!!
