I guess Twila and I had tired ourselves out because we didn't even get out of bed till after 9 am this morning. Neither one of us have a early seminar we wanted to attend so it didn't matter if we got up early. We did go to the Coast to Coast Casino Royale. For those of you that haven't attended one of them I will explain a little about it. They had tables set up with Craps, Texas Hold Em, Poker, Roulette, and Black Jack. I don't know about the other games but they gave you $100 in chips at the Black Jack tables. The object was to win chips as it is in any game of Black Jack, but when you cashed out they took back the original $100 and anything over you were given one ticket for every $50 in chips. If you lost all your chips all you had to do was find an empty place at another table. Twila and I won a lot of tickets but we didn't win anything in the drawing. It was a lot of fun since you didn't worry about loosing your chips. There was a down side to it though. Twila liked it so much we had to go to a real Casino and that didn't go nearly as easy.
I did go to one seminar in the afternoon, it was about RVing in Mexico. It was interesting but was being presented by a tour company and I really didn't hear anything I didn't already know. Tomorrow is the last day of the Rally and I am ready to get on the road.
Larry and Twila
Just a few words about Twila and myself, We got married November the 29th 2002. I had lost my first wife to cancer in May of 2001 and had finally reached the point of wanting to share my life with someone else. My younger brother Bill's, youngest son, Mike, was married to a wonderful girl, Terri, and I knew Terri's mother had been divorced for several years, although I had never met her. I thought anyone who had a daughter that nice I wanted to meet the mama ...... so I finally finaggled an invitation to a granddaughter's birthday party. Now here's the tricky part. The girl is Twila's granddaughter and my niece; so I got my brother's wife to get me invited, asked Twila out the next Friday night and 4 months later we got married. Would have been quicker but she was a little hard to convince because she had vowed to never get married again. Now I have a nephew that calls me uncle grandpa.
I had an old 1989 34 foot motor home and in the summer of 2003 we loaded up 3 grandsons, 2 of mine and 1 of hers, and head to Carlsbad, the Grand Canyon, and Mesa Verde. When we got back 10 days later we were a little crazy but ready for more RVing. We made several trips (by ourselves) that lasted 1 1/2 to 2 months and started going to Aransas Pass, Texas for the winter for 3 to 4 months at a time. In November 2007 we decided to go "full time". I sold the home place which has been in the family since sometime in the 1930's to my middle son Todd and we hit the road in a 41' 2005 Gulfstream G7 Motor Home towing a 2005 Jeep Liberty. Before I sold the home place I poured a pad complete with 50 amp electric, sewer, and water so in the spring and fall when the weather is not too cold or too hot we pull in and sit for a few weeks until our feet start to itch and then we have to follow the dream.
