Silver Dollar City

We had a very busy day delivering mail, dropping off items at Goodwill, stopping at Allen's RV to have the freezer door looked at so decided to head on over to Silver Dollar City and relax with some homemade icecream.  They make it fresh every day!!


We caught a few songs by the Chapmans

Waved at the passengers on the train and tried to warn them about a train robbery that was sure to happen.

The big Bluegrass and BBQ festival continues until June 3 and we are able to use our RedHead Express Roadie passes so we are taking full advantage of the opportunity.

Third Generation Bluegrass was very entertaining.

This guy dipped his had in hot wax several times and ended up with a hand candle!

Loved watching the woodworking shops.

This little guy was enjoying an afternoon snack.

Love it!!

As the park closes people flock to Echo Hollow, the largest amphitheater in Missouri.

And it is big and steep.

The County Nights show was worth the climb!!

Comedy broke up the show putting everyone in that Wow kinda mood.

there was a tribute to country music!

He could really play!!

Loved the country songs.

There was a disappearing act!


The Silver Dollar City Singers did some gospel.

The show ended with a tribute to the veterans in the audience.

So if you go to Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO, remember to stay after the park closes for the Echo Hollow Show!

was all the climbing before the ankle injury? Maybe the cause?

Mary, still using the ankle. Stepped wrong off a riock I'd climbed up on to get a better shot. Just one little step down about a week ago now. Still a little puffy. But healing.

Houston Fest Galax, VA

We arrived in Galax, VA and stopped at our friend, Harold's. He was just putting the finishing touches on a cake he made for his nephew.  Harold is great in the kitchen! Brenda arrived!  We had a nice meet and greet. We went to the school across the street with Brenda and Harold and met Linda who likes hugs. Each day the three of them and others from the community volunteer to prepare backpacks of food items for children who otherwise would good the weekend hungry. They have fund raisers to get money and purchase food items that children can manage for breakfast and lunch.  They also get donations.  There is a man in Florida that heard about their need for food so ships items from Amazon.com for them to distribute. They get everything organized then run an assembly line to package items. The bags are then sent to the classrooms where the teachers put them in the children's backpacks so that no one is called to any attention. Time to head to Houston Fest whose mission is to hon

Pandemic

 This has been a strange year. We arrived in Florida in March and have stayed home since. That is about 6 months now. The Covid-19 virus has set the world to be a different place with stay at home orders, restaurants and bars closed, shelves in the grocery stores empty of toilet paper and antiseptic good, virtual school and doctor visits, hospitals that don’t let visitors enter and no only emergency care, wearing a mask when you are in public and people staying six feet apart. Who knows what the new world will be like after this.

Hospital Stay to Camping Out

Update: morning started early with vitals checked every four hours, bloodwork ( interesting side note: you are given an IV port in the emergency room, but that port is not used to retrieve blood for any of the various tests once you are admitted. Instead someone comes and draws blood through a new prick hole each time. ).    I started taking a new pill, Imdur, that helps keep the arteries open. It gave me a terrible headache so I won’t be taking that again!    Went for a CT angio of the chest. Then I waited       It is now 3:00 and they are going to discharge me!!    Yippie. That was about three weeks ago. Since then life has made a 360. We bought a house!! A touchspot really because we still plan to travel. We bought a new to us PleasureWay!! We are scrubbing and painting the house. It is the best way to get to know your new space. And it makes it your own. I take it slow and sit more than I remember doing in days gone by, but we are just ma
