Kerrville, TX RV Rally

Haven’t written in the blog for a while, so I have some catching up to do. We left Biloxi on Saturday. We got a later than usual start. We have a mail service in S. Dakota. People send mail to us there, and then every couple of weeks I call the service and they send a package with our mail to whatever address I tell them. Last Monday they sent our mail to Biloxi, priority mail. By Saturday it hadn’t arrived yet. So we hung around until the mail truck arrived on Saturday to see if he had our mail. He didn’t have it, so we had waited until around 1:00 for nothing. It still hasn’t shown up 11 days later, so our mail service is trying to track it down. On Edit - The mail service called today (12 days after sending the package) and it had been returned to sender. We don't know who actually received it, but at least they sent it back.

After we left Biloxi we spent 3 nights at the Coushatta Indian Casino in Kinder, LA. They have a very nice RV park that is only about $20 per night. I had one winning day in poker and 2 losing days. For those that don’t know poker very well, sometimes it is harder to win against idiot players rather than knowledgeable players. If four of 10 players don’t know basic strategy, it is very likely that one of those 4 will get lucky on the river and win with a hand that they shouldn’t have been playing in the first place. After playing poker I was able to enjoy the buffet. Ironically the best item on the buffet was sour grapes. We’ll be in Vegas for April. I’ve historically done very well there. If I don’t win there then I’m going to start begging for diesel money from my beloved blog readers.

After Coushatta we went to the Houston area for a couple of days to visit my nephew Nathan and his wife Angie, and their two kids. While in Biloxi Nan and I would walk on a sidewalk along the gulf. Like many people in my family, I inherited bad knees. While walking with Nan she asked my how my knees were doing. I told her that hadn’t felt that good in a long time so we walked a little longer than usual. That resulted in me limping around for the next few days. But luckily Roxy was nice enough to eliminate my limp for me yesterday. I was walking her and she lunged at a duck, and I heard and felt my knee pop. So now I would describe it more as a hobble than a limp. In spite of that we still had a very nice visit in Houston.

Today we drove about 5 hours to Kerrville, TX for an RV rally. Someone told Nan that they play the Mexican Train game during this rally. She loves that game so here we are. The rally ends on Sunday, so we’ll take off for Corpus Christi on Monday.
