July 2011 to Oklahoma

Cracker Barrel our favorite on the road place to eat. We are heading to Tolar to see Mike, Jana and Lauren. We are anxious to see the progress on their new house. We visited some and went to lunch at Spring Creek Bar B Q then they had to head for Stephenville to pick up supplies for house and we headed to the WinStar Casino inb Oklahoma. I had a room free for 2 nights and 200.00 in play credits plus 2 buffets for 2 and a dinner in Toby Keith's bar and grill for 2. It was a lot of fun and we came home with more money than we took so that is always good. We would definetly go back again. The casino inside fromthe hotel to the end of the casino is a half mile one mile round trip. We really got our exercise and made many round trips. We had not been since it was a tent and gravel parking. Boy has it changed a lot.

Our first stop for breakfast in Bryan Texas.
Nice mural in Valley Mills Texas.

Mike and Jana's new home being built. They should be ready to move in about the middle of August.

Jana likes her new kitchen I think.

Their great new front door.

And they had the fire place stone sealed to make it easy to keep clean.I think Lauren is reaching for her phone.

Mike's shop.

Then we went to eat lunch.

Lauren took this picture of her Grandma.

Jana and Mike here.

And then we continued on to Oklahoma.

The Winstar in Thackerville OK. Mile marker #1 on I-35.

A War memorial at the rest stop, very nice.

Don't forget to say this every day.
