A day in the country

George and I are off for a drive in the country. I got the idea as my plane was flying over New York. I wanted to see the countryside, and the beautiful northeast. I like Oklahoma, but I'm really a "northeastener" now. I missed it. We are going to drive to Connecticut to a bead store where they have lovely silver charms and findings that I can't find anywhere else. (No pun intended.)

On the way, we happen to drive near Foxwoods, the big casino that is so popular, and I'm going to scrape some quarters from my car and try to make the big haul. Ha. But it is a fun place to stop, and we don't stay long. We found the non-smoking slot machine room the last time, so we will head there. Cigarette and cigar smoke really ruins the casino experience for me--I smell it as soon as I hit the elevator button.

So, we're off for a nice drive, and have packed our apples and turkey sandwiches. A nice day for a drive!

Have a good one.
