Arriving At Inn At Grand Glaize, Missouri
Today begins a new hunting experience for Cerwin. The beautiful view from our room. This looks like an area that I will want to explore while Cerwin is hunting. There are lots of beautiful mounts in the lobby – from previous Whitetail Trophy Hunts. Kevin, right, is the man who recruited Cerwin for this hunt […]

Meeting A Blog Friend In Branson
Delightful is one of my favorite words, and it is how I felt about meeting my blog friend Janet (for the first time) yesterday! She came to our hotel and asked if it was okay to go to College of the Ozarks for lunch. This college is known as “Hard Work U” because the students […]

Monday in Branson
How do I limit my many pictures of the day to a sensible amount for my blog? We found our way to the Showboat “Branson Belle” for our scheduled lunch cruise – a bit early. We have learned one thing – that people arrive really early for scheduled programs around here. When we think we are too […]

Indianapolis to Branson
It is always delightful to see the 198 foot tall cross when we travel through Effingham, Illinois. Enjoying coffee, the scenery, and three hours of Gospel music on Sirius Radio (bluegrass channel) was heavenly. As we talked about the delightful, heavenly morning, we came upon highway that was quite bumpy. I said to Cerwin, “This road reminds […]

Road Trip To Indianapolis
It was a good day! This is what happens when you take a picture before there is enough light. I thought it was kind of interesting. We left the house at 5:15 a.m. and enjoyed many sights and sounds through out the day. We enjoyed coffee and homemade cookies – from Deb – during the […]

Roller Skating
Overlook Skating Rink is not far from Chuck-E-Cheeses, so we had an hour to fill with another activity until the rink opened. First we spent some time at one of the playgrounds. Of course Jared tried to climb outside the safety fence. 🙂 I was impressed that there was the story of Noah’s Ark […]

Chuck-E-Cheese’s
…with our four youngest grandchildren. Saturday morning, November 2. This was a belated birthday gift for Jesse. He was so excited about “snowmobiling” that he didn’t even let Chuck-E-Cheese distract him. When I say belated, I mean belated. Jesse’s birthday was in June. The children were enticed to our table when the pizza arrived – […]

Tuesday Evening, October 29 The above photo and next paragraph are from the internet – just to give you an idea of where we ate: It’s authentic Latino American cuisine, and […]

Look At Our Kitchen Counter!
How would you like to come home to this? This is what our kitchen counter looked like when we got home from the TFC Dinner Concert at Manor Church on Saturday night, October 26. I immediately knew that our granddaughter Abby had been here. The home canned grape juice concentrate was our anniversary gift from […]

Autumn Is Here In All Its Glory
I took these pictures in a variety of places during the past week. Leaves are everywhere these days – in the yard and on the patio steps. Those still on the trees seem to be at their peak this weekend. The decorative grasses are also beautiful right now. I thought these sheep looked pretty in the early […]
