Enjoying the Music Sept 11, 2008




Before we arrived in Branson I remember saying that we shouldn't plan too much for one day but guess what, we have. There is just so much to choose from.
Yesterday, Wednesday, we decided to have a slow morning and then enjoy the 8 pm show we had tickets for so we did except for a trip to Wal Mart and then out to eat a "late" or "early" meal whichever you call it and enjoyed barbeque.
The show of the evening was the Shoji Tabuchi Show and it was wonderful. A big variety of music from country, gospel, 50's , Broadway, etc. It was just amazing the instruments played, singing, dancing and costumes.We had hoped to find somewhere for dessert after the show but believe it or not things were closed. Chuck and Larry were of the opinion that all the bus tours had to take their people back to their hotels , pass out medication and put them to bed. We are not being ugly but we do feel younger here as I think the average age is somewhere in the late 70's and 80's. Of course, Linda and Chuck are the "babies" in our group both still in their 50's.Finally, we found a McDonalds and had ice cream which actually hit the spot.
Today we are going to the Jim Stafford show at 3 pm, then join our group for dinner and then the Joe Diffie Show at 8pm. Ally surprised me the other morning when I told her we were seeing Joe Diffie and she said "John Deere Green" which is a song of his . I guess I forgot she had to listen to country music growing up since that was our preference.


I am adding a picture of the group when we had dinner with friends from Oklahoma on Monday night. Floretta & Mason Young have a park model here in Branson . I also forgot to add the picture of Jim's half hairy chest. That is mine and Janice Parsons hands. It is a long story and we will have to share it another time.
