BRANSON

we have finallhy made it to branson ...a lovely drive from loittle rock to branson..we saw very little tornado damage along the way till we got into the center of town then we began to see damage...several small motels--restaurants--business done in and also the wal-mart in town the garden part of the stote was damaged but the store is now up and running...most of the big theatres were NOT damaged so they were ok...due to the fact of the economy and the tornados the business has slacked off some in branson as we were told by the campground host where we stayed..

now it is time to decide which shows we wanted to see..of course we had gone on line to see about where was the best place to get "CHEAP" tickets ahahhahaha...so off we went to a place we thought was going to be the best...we went in and talked to darryl and told him which shows we wanted he came up with a money figure and told us to get them cheaper we would have to sit in on a vacation thing...'QUEEN CAROL' said NO you adveritised that you wer the cheapest and that there was no where that it said we had to sit in on anything so there fore we ought to be that price...with alot of figureing and talking we did make out better....NO WAY did any of us want to sit in on anything...so QUEEN CAROL came thru...

we went to the chinese acrobats--the hughes brother a family show where all the family entertained probally over 40-50 of them all very talented...then we did a paddleboat dinner/show cruise--then a variety show...so we have been very busy doing shows ...maybe we could have stayed longer andone more shows but i think we all had enough...(maybe not cause the temps sure have changed from high 80"s to 60)...

last night we stayed at a sam's club in paducha, ky whcih i now know is the 'QUILTING CAPITAL OF THE STATES".....oh well most of you know that i am not a "QUILTER" so i guess maybe next time ahhahahah

WE WANT TO WIDSH YOU ALL A HAPPY EASTER...AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL
