There Are Good Ships.....etc.: The Best Ships Are Friendships

---

We left Miami and made our way to Branson, Missouri. What a great place this is and what makes it even BETTER than great is that our friends, Sam & Sandy, are here. What a joy to see them again....and we aren't even in Florida yet. It is just amazing that we were able to connect up with one another on our worldly travels. They saw a lot more of the world than we did and traveled many more miles ....but being so far from home and finding each other just somewhat off Route 66.....a miracle. Wonders just never cease. So now we are all at a really nice RV park in the Ozarks, high above Branson, which is just DOWN the winding road. Our RV's are just across from each other. Life is so good! Neither of us have been to Branson before so we could "oooooo" & "aaaaahhh" together as we drove down the main drag. It looks like there is a lot to do in this area so we will just take it a day at a time until we feel we've done it all. Our travel tales quickly filled the time up so fast that we will need about 45 hours in each day to allow enough time for all our chatter. "How time flies when you are having a good time" rings so true now. We had dinner at a big chicken/ steak restaurant....it was country and homey and good. Being back in the RV with Sam & Sandy is just like our times spent at Tropical Palms minus the palm trees. We still miss the Orlando Ale House, though, and have that on both our "look-forward" lists.

My cold is hanging in there but I have managed to control most of the symptoms except for a very nasal sound to my voice......I bet if you called me, you would wonder who the new French woman was that you with speaking with.....Bonsoir (Good-Night).
