Hey y'all!!

Well, it's not gonna be finished but we're gonna be livin in our new cabin around the first of April andRon (bonkers) and Michael are plannin to drive in from out  San Diego way for a visit in mid may so it seemed like a helluva opportunity for a combination house warming/clusterhead get together....and then we decided to throw a double birthday bash into the mix as I'll turn 65 (got my Medicare card the other day! Who'da thunk I'd live this long!  Lol) on May 11th and my OLDER friend Ron will be an ancient 66 on the 27th??

I've run it up the pole with our movie star buddy, Hipshot and wife Lee Ann and my bud CH-HELL and wife Jen and IT'S ON!!!  Sent GrannyB (BarbaraD) a PM on CH.com last nite and she'll be here and sez she's gonna talk Lenny into comin from LA!!

There will be lots of motels to choose from between Denison which is about 15 miles from us or Durant 15 miles the other direction or.... There's quite a few 5 miles from the place in Calera up close to the casino!! And if you're into roughin it, there's plenty of woods round the cabin for a tent!!

I'll be checking on some of the motel rates and will post that info along with a firm date soon!!

How far did you say that CASINO was from ya... sounds like a great place to stay... hear they "comp" the "high rollers"..  :)  do ya think $10 will do it???

Seriously, if the casino isn't too far away - the rates are usually cheaper there and there's always something to "entertain" us if'n we get bored (and YOU KNOW WE ALWAYS DO ;D ;D ;D)

I'm looking forward to this one... Can't wait to see your OLD face again.. And ain't that medicare card neat? I love mine...  :-*

Choctaw Where?????

I was born in Choctaw Arkansas.

Hey Louise... we're probably cousins.. I was born in Ft. Smith.. you know what they say about anyone from AR.. :)

Where is Choctaw? I wish i could attend the meet :( Do upload the pics

Damn!!! I love my iphone!!!!  Got a "tethering" plan today that makes it a "personal" wifi hotspot......I can now boot up the laptop here in the tent trailer in the middle of our woods and connect to the internet thru the iphone!!!

So, I recieved an email from Ron (Bonkers) this week and he has opted for the weekend of May 18th, 19th, and 20th as a date for this little get together and sez if gas hit's $5/gal by then that they may fly in!!

May 18th, 19th, and 20th.....circle it on yer calendars and come join us for some "clusterbud love" as flipperlips calls it!!!!

Regarding the questions about the location.....google " Choctaw casino".... There are several in okla...choose the Durant location....it's approx 115 miles north of Dallas on I-75....15 miles north of the Red River....and just north of the city limits of Calera....our place is about 5 miles S E of there.

Ya got the black-eyed pea soup on? :-*

Due to scheduling conflicts for several folks wanting to attend, we're moving the date up 1 week to May 11th!!

I just checked the Hotel at the Casino. Room rate $174 per nite. But look at the bright side... we'll win a fortune.. and then they'll comp the room..  ;)

Gosh Is it MAY yet???   :-*

My lovely bride, and others, have pointed out that this date is also Mothers Day weekend so.......we're gonna move it up one more week to May 4th.....sorry folks, last change I promise!!

Ok, so it's concreted for May 4th?

Now who's coming... Count me in..  :-*

Okay, so who actually showed up and how much fun did ya have???

I probably would have driven over for the 18th, but just found out it was moved up and up.  I was going to visit my brother in Dallas and my sister in Wichita.  Oh well, maybe next time.
