Rolling on the River....

....after the great flood

OK, so Grandma J's flood wasn't anywhere near the flood that has devastated so many along the Mississippi River.  Her flood was limited to three rooms in an apartment in Central Texas.

Not wanting to help get in the way of the clean-up process, she packed her bag, then packed up JJ's stuff and headed out of town.   She dropped JJ off at his daycare provider's for a three day weekend stay. 

Three nights in a hotel room with three TVs, one spa tub, free Internet, 500 slot machines, and a view of the Muddy Red River was the perfect fix.

    You are a woman after my own heart, what a perfect way to get out of the way .. a hotel room in a casino with THREE televisions . triple the amount of 'nothing to watch'!
