Christmas 2008 in Bossier City LA

This has been a fast and furious year. It was time to kick back and enjoy a little leisure time.

We decided we would spend Christmas Eve in Bossier City, LA.

My youngest sister, her husband and Mom went with us. We left Christmas Eve morning and drove to Bossier.

We made reservations at the Horseshoe Casino. We visited all the casinos. Everyone had a great time.

We drove home Christmas afternoon.

Road Trip through Mena Arkansas

We woke up this morning and decided to drive to Mena, AR to take in some of the fall colors. Wow, what a beautiful drive. The drive was relaxing and the colors were outstanding.

This was our first trip to Mena. It has to be the perfect time of year for the drive. The weather was cool and the colors of fall were everywhere. The trees were showing their fall wears of copper, brass, golds and reds. The view from the lookouts were awesome. The country side looked like a giant quilt done in patch work colors.

We took our time and drove the mountains and stopped at all the lookouts. We shot plenty of pictures and enjoyed the cool autumn day. We left the Mena area and drove over into the Broken Bow area of Oklahoma. We stopped for dinner and arrived home a little after six.

Daingerfield in the Fall 2008

We were able to get away to our favorite camping spot this past week. We spent the week at Daingerfield State Park. It was beautiful. The weather is starting to cool and the leaves are starting to change. The large pines have such a comfortable feeling. The smell of camp fires and the stillness of the country. Wow, I can't wait to go back.

We were able to spent some times with some old friends, Jerry and Elizabeth. They were camped across from us. We had a great time visiting, playing cards and walking the trails.

The Park was busy all week with people coming and going but it was still peaceful.
