Grant, NE

May 3rd. we left Branson MO. for Omaha NE. After spending ten days in the Omaha, NE area visiting relatives and taking care of some business there we drove west to my sister Gloria & Ron Patrick's and are currently parked in their driveway. We arrived here on Tues afternoon (May 13th.) and will be leaving on Sat. (May 17th.) around noon for our final two day drive to Hazen Bay, ND our final destination until after Labor Day. While here we have been busy visiting old friends, relatives and taking care of some of the farm business that our tenant isn't able to do for us.
Driving across NE the other day on I-80 I got to thinking about all of the people that say they hate to go across NE because there is nothing there and it is boring. Well I decided that I would much rather drive across NE than the vast desert and wastelands of Calif. Ariz. & New Mexico. I guess it is just a matter of where one grew up and what they perceive as nice scenery.

Kountry Klub Region 3 Rally

On Wed. morning we departed ABC RV Park and went across town to the KOA RV Park to attend the Newmar Kounrty Klub Region 3 Rally. It was real change of pace as we went from being constantly scheduled with activities to a much less busier schedule. Thur. evening was a buffet meal at the Rails restaurant next door to the RV Park and then we spent the evening playing pegs & jokers at the community center. Fri we enjoyed the lunch Cruise on the Branson Belle. We had a very delicious noon meal along with a great variety show. Unfortunately the winds kept us tied to the dock so we didn't get to cruise Table Rock Lake. Then Fri evening we attended The Pierce Arrow Show. This show is 5 men and 2 women that sing a variety of country music with a heavy emphasis on Gospel. The bass singer of this group is the worlds lowest bass singer according to the Guinness book of records. It also has several comedy acts done by one of the best comedians I have ever seen. The ten days spent in Branson have added many more people to our list of new friends, we also were able to spend 5 days with our good friends Paul & Mary from Kentucky. Aren't we so blessed and lucky?
