Yes I know!  I used a word I never use.  “Senior”.  It’s not in my vocabulary.  However, it’s the reputation formerly tiny Branson, MO. has come to enjoy.

This is my 2nd trip to what I call a more modest model of its Nevada ‘cousin’.  The “strip” in Branson is lined with tons of restaurants and show palaces featuring everything from the “Twelve Irish Tenors” to Andy Williams and a raft of country music folks.  The hotels and resorts are more modest as well.

Not so, downtown “Historic Branson”.  Gone is the sleepy little downtown area bordering Lake Tannycombe and in it’s place is a mile-long veranda of shops (including an incredible Bass Pro anchoring one end), restaurants and an awesome water & fire show every hour on the hour beginning at 7:00 p.m.

Tomorrow we’ll enjoy the 12 Irish lads ‘crossing over’ between pop and opera - something most popular these days.  Frankly, I admit - I love it!  And then we’ll head for home.

It was a nice respite.  Although too muddy for Harold to fish and my need to be ‘online’ daily; it was good to change scenery and experience parts of the U.S. we hadn’t seen in a long time.

With that said, it will be another day before I’m back at the Blog post, so I ask you to keep us in your prayers for a safe journey.  And wherever you are - the same is asked for you!

Have an awesome evening with  a ton of love and great blessings!
