Crackin' Crab in Kentucky!

Okay. We made it to Louisville, Kentucky. We are now eating at Joe’s Crab Shack on the Ohio River.

And we’re about to head to the Hollywood Casino. Yes, we are. Stupid, huh?

Only if you know (and now, you do) that we’re going to compound our stupidity from last night, when we went to the casino at Wheeling Island, West Virginia. Might I say that Indian Casinos S.U.C.K.??? (Except for that one at Tulsa, where I won some big bucks last year.)

And then, we’re headed to Nashville. From there, Dallas. We’ve extended our trip a couple of days since we’ve not been together in forever and a day, going to take a little mini-vacation. And unfortunately, ThatManILove does love him some blackjack.

But to tell you how good he is about it…last night, when we got in from the smoky casino, he took all of our clothes to the hotel Laundromat and washed and dried them. Is that amazing?
And, as you see in this picture, he’s been busy cracking crab legs for his favorite woman in the whole wide world. Me!!

Oh, yeah. I’m spoiled.

And the world is as it should be.

Man, some Joe's Crab Shack sounds good today. Think I'll have to talk my man into taking a drive into the city tonight.

Chatelaine - do I need to have ThatManILove call NoStar and tell him how to crack crabs for his lady?;) Y'all have fun!

Gwynne said...

Someday, our paths are bound to cross (but not likely in an Indian casino since I can't tolerate all that smoke...what a sweetheart of a husband you have!). Drive safely!

That Janie Girl said...

Gwynne - I'm with ya, girlfriend. I HATE the smoke.

I'd rather not go than face all that smoke.

Look forward to meeting you! Hope all is well.

Dana and Daisy said...

yes! You are spoiled. Don't let that one get away!

And no, I don't hire out, I only work for free! :)

That Janie Girl said...

So, like, you'll be at my house...when? ;)

Anonymous said...

So. . you were close enough for me to reach out and touch and I had no idea you were here? HERE. Yeah. While you were eating at Joe's Crab Shack, you could look across the river and see me waving. And as you went down hwy 111 on your way to the Horseshoe Casino, right at the stoplight on 111, if you had looked right, there would be my house. hurrumph! Of course, I don't want your cold, so keep on goin'.

Sure sounds like I-65 to me. Did you wave to my former workplace (the Corvette assembly plant, in Bowling Green) as you passed?
