Casinos and shrimp: who wouldn't go?

..and Pete Fountain, too!


Hey Sandy:

Well you want to go to the Hollywood Casino. Let me know when you
plan to arrive and I can get free tickets to see Pete Fountain along
with free tickets to the buffet. All the boiled, fried and grilled
shrimp you want. Then we can skip over to the Grand Isle and have a
snack at Emeril's eatery. The Hollywood is only about 30 miles from
me. So come on down and enjoy the sweltering heat with the rest of
us. I'll bet Miss Polly will being her pet alligator. You'd
recognize her. About as big as a minute with a big red boa around her
neck. giggle

You lucky woman! My daddy was born and raised a fly's mile from Jackson
- and my Gramma moved to Gulfport right before she passed away about 6
years ago ... I've only been lucky enough to go a few times as a child,
but I still remember the smell of sweet magnolia (Gramma had'em in her
front yard) and the kindness and friendliness of everyone I met there.

Right after we made arrangements to move here (Northern FL) my Gramma
passed away ... we were moving here specifically so we could be within
visitin' distance ('bout 2 1/2 hours to her door - better than the 26
hours it was before we moved). She was a wonderful woman. And she had
wonderful neighbors.
