Our last 'friend and family' stop took us to Dallas, TX, actually Richardson, just north of Dallas. Floyd and Glen met at Noble Jr. High in the 7th grade. They had not seen each other in 29 years, since a Thanksgiving Dinner at my Aunts house in Redding, CA. Wow! Phone calls and face book had sufficed. This visit did not disappoint, we picked right up where we had left off.
Floyd took us to his favorite restaurants and also prepared a great steak dinner for us. Like all the friends and family visits we have had on our trip, this one rekindled long standing relationships and made precious memories. We have been Blessed by all of you throughout this fantastic summer voyage!
After saying farewell, we made our way through Dallas and Houston, both beautiful cities, and across the water to Galveston Island. Only one night on the gulf and then onward Roci!
A road closing held us up a bit as did the first real rain storm we have driven in. That is how Louisiana welcomed us, in the rain. We spent the next three nights (one in the RV and two in a Hotel) at the Coushatta Casino Resort. It is in the middle of nowhere, has three Hotels, an RV Park, a Casino and a Golf Course. Glen has had fun both playing golf and card games although, neither have been friendly to him here...oops! I have done absolutely nothing except read and relax, it has been wonderful..haha!

So cool you had the opportunity to see so many friends and family. This trip truly is “Something you’ll remember for the rest of your lives!” - a great man I know has said that quite a few times. And, P.S. I stayed in that Sheraton in Houston ;)
