Last Thursday we left Gordonville for a long weekend in Ashdown, Arkansas. During our journey, we stopped in DeKalb, TX so Mom and Dad could get a picture of another gravesite, that of Dan Blocker who played "Hoss Cartwright" on the TV show Bonanza. We are spending the weekend at the Millwood Landing Golf and RV Resort. What a beautiful park. Today we took a ride into Texarkana so Lenny and I could get our picture taken straddling the state line between Texas and Arkansas. The state line goes right down the middle of the Federal Courthouse and Post Office. Afterwards we were treated to our happy meal hamburgers and fries. Gotta love those little sightseeing road trips! Arkansas is now the 31st state Lenny has visited since he came to live with us 14 months ago. Monday we will be leaving for the Natchez Trace in Tennessee. We will arrive there on Tuesday. This will be Lenny's first trip there so I am anxious to show him around. It's a fun place.
Later folks.

The Gordons In Gordonville
Today we left Thackerville, OK and drove a long 38 miles to the Lake Texoma Thousand Trails in Gordonville, TX. Gordonville is becoming an annual stop for us as this is one of our favorite parks. We enjoyed our two week stay in Thackerville. While Mom and Dad enjoyed spending time with friends John and Janet, Lenny and I had fun playing with our buddy Holly. One day I snuck out of our trailer. Dad didn't have to search hard for me as I ran straight to Holly's motorcoach and was setting on the steps when Dad caught up with me. One day, Mom and Dad went to the Thackerville Third Annual Rattlesnake Roundup put on by the Thackerville Fire Department. They enjoyed seeing many rattlesnakes but at a safe distance behind a barrier. Mom and Dad enjoyed the free seniors' breakfasts at the Winstar Casino. Fortunately, they didn't leave too much money in the slot machines, so they came out ahead. We will be in Gordonville for two weeks of rest and relaxation.

HAPPY EASTER
Lenny and I want to wish our family and friends a Happy Easter. We are enjoying our stay in Oklahoma. Last Sunday was a "doggie day-out" for us. Mom and Dad took us first to the Chickasaw National Recreation Area. Then we went to Oklahoma City to visit the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial. It was very sobering to see the memorial chairs for the victims killed in that tragic event, 19 of who were children. Afterwards, we were treated to our happy meals for lunch. While enjoying lunch we were able to watch a female police officer chase down and capture a shoplifter. That was exciting!
Yesterday Mom and Dad went to the Winstar Casino for a free seniors breakfast. They sure do enjoy the perks of being senior citizens. Also, our Westie pal Holly arrived at the park with her Mom and Dad. We sure do enjoy playtime with her.
All for now, again HAPPY EASTER and please don't eat all the ears on the chocolate bunnie...
