Finally we arrive...................

Check into the Grand
Hinkley Inn, a beautiful 2 story hotel, we are greeted by many friends who have arrived before us. the
Hospitality room is right next to the front desk and a fun place to hang out and see who has showed up. . The shuttle bus runs to the casino every 15 minutes 24/7 so you are good to go any time you get the itch. It is a short distance and many people are seen taking the scenic walk.

Bob,
Corkey, Jimmy, Bud, Evelyn are some of the friends hanging out in our gathering room. Eating at 4 Pm , cards and games and lots of talk, talk, talk follow. Then it is back to the Casino.

This is the patio outside of the Hospitality Room that is ours to use for the 2 day stay.

This seems like a good thing..

In a parking lot of a small shopping area ,Bob found his 'Cabin in the Woods".. It was very much the size of a Park Model [400 sq ft] with a loft. Nothing on the inside just log walls.

Yes, I could live here. [by myself] I wonder if he means in the parking lot or intends to move it to the woods.

See the Expressway signs in the background? No chance of getting "lost " in this area.

All too soon it is time to say Good by until next fall in Texas. Don
Ringblom and George
Wallin have only about an hour drive to get home.

We all meet in the morning for the breakfast, coffee and saying
goodbye's. Then out of our rooms by 11 AM.

Lavonne and Bea are settled in and ready to go. See you all soon...
