Short get away to Branson

September 28,2008

We left home on Sunday morning and drove up to Roy's . They was having a fund raiser for Deniese and the girls. I fixed a big pot of baked beans and a large macaroni salas. Jeanette I thought of you when I was making it. It sure was good. I got a lot of complements on it.I make a mean macaroni salad don't I Jeanette.
We had a wonderful service, Roy is so broken hearted. He cried the whole time.
Sunday evening we went to the pond and fed the fish, there is a lot of large cat fish in there.
They would come to the top of the water and open their mouth and gather up food. Some of they was 4 or 5 inches wide maybe even wider.
After our trip by the pond, we set on the porch until the mosquietos like to eat us up. We went inside.

Coy and I left about 9:30, our show was 4: o'clock so we wanted to be settle in our motel before
we went. We had a beautiful trip up. the leaves are beginning to turn up there. So much beautiful scenery God made for us to see.

We stopped for gas, unfortunatly we cannot travel without it It is so high and Coy decided he would run the tank over and put some on the ground about a 1/2 gal. I heard it running and was hoping it was someone else. He is always doing things like that. "Can you believe it"

Well we got in Branson about 1:30 . We was on one of those tours, which is a nice way to go . We stayed at Lanina Motel on the Shepherd of the Hills Highway. At 3:30 we left for our show.
On this tour we got 6 show tickets. 30 dollar certificate to Mike's Steak house.

We had a few laughs though, Our first show was a dinner show. The Sons of the Pioneers. It was a very good show and for dinner we had grilled corn on the cob grilled to perfection,pinto beans,potatoes.breast of grilled chicken,polish sausage,brisket and apple cobbler. We could not eat it all and we had not eat a meal all day,just snacked. We was so tired so we went to bed soon as we got to the motel.

Tuesday our tour was at 9:am so we got that over with.. Went to another show at 2 pm It was the 60 show and not good at all. Our next show was at 8 pm The Haygoods, It was wonderful funny comical and variety of talent. It was a very long and tireing day.

Wednesday we had a different tour with 2 shows and a dinner certificate. We packed up early and left , went shopping and just relaxed . Went to Table Rock Lake and had a picnic lunch and just set by the water.

Checked in at our other motel, The Carriage House we was already set up for a show at 8 pm, it was cancelled becausse of an accident. Our tour was at 9:30 the next morning, it was a big joke. only 2 couples there,empty rooms with no furniture, seen the resort film on a laptop. Even if I was going to buy, It would not be there. It was over pretty quick.

We went to an antique shop there was a guy in there with tours and a 100 dollars in cash. So we took that one at 1pm. We dont mind telling them no. We bought the others in 2006 We dont even answer the phone if it is tele-marketer now. At 8 pm we went to Hanna Barber. It was good. So it was good to be away for a few days. Came home Friday morning because I am cordinator of the Hope.s Faithful and we had a Fish Fry to go to in Fordyce at 4 pm. It was good. I was wore out and went to bed about 8 and slept to 7:30 which is almost unheard of.
ENOUGH OF MY RAMBLINGS, HAVE A GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS YOU.
