Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Tuesday, November 19 We left the hotel in Missouri about 7:45 a.m. – after saying goodbye to some of our new friends. Our first stop was at the slaughter-house where the deer were taken after they were brought in from the field. Cerwin asked them to just remove the meat from the bones. We have a […]

Monday, November 18 It was fun to open our hotel room curtain early each morning, then open the sliding glass door to our small deck overlooking the lake and watch the sunrise. It was about this time that I made coffee (in the pot in our room) and began to blog about the previous day – while […]

Many of the hunters said this was one of the windiest days in which they have ever hunted. At least it was fairly warm and not raining. Even the birds perched on the ledge of the window (next to where I sat in the lounge doing my counted cross stitch) to get away from the wind. […]

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.

Never rely on what you think you know. Proverbs 3:5 (Good News Translation)
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 […]

As we talked about the delightful, heavenly morning, we came upon highway that was quite bumpy. I said to Cerwin, “This road reminds […]

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 […]
