Sometimes, this old house
feels like a long lost friend....
Hey it's good to be back home again...
So, we're home.
3,824 miles and 24 days later.
Thank the Lord and pass the biscuits.
John Denver got it right with that song.
Regardless of how much fun you have on a vacation, it feels good to be back in familiar surroundings and back in your own bed.
One of the shows we saw in Branson was a morning - yes they have shows at 10am - John Denver tribute show. It was a good pick for a morning show - laid back - mellow - included some Gospel tunes (actually almost everything in Branson includes some Gospel tunes) - and a little country bluegrass.
The John Denver impersonator is the second from the right - he obviously doesn't look very much like John Denver - he joked that he gets mistaken for former governor Blagoyovich! Look again - strong resemblance there.
The Branson shows are all about 2 hours long - this one was 2 and 1/2 - include a 15 minute intermission during which you're encouraged to buy stuff and talk with the performers - and - one of the big big plusses - they all start on time! Marlene and I have been to so many concerts that start 15, 30, even 60 minutes late that this was a refreshing plus. I'm sure part of the reason is that there are so many concerts going on every day (usually at 10, 2, and 8) when you factor in time for meals and getting around (traffic can be brutal on "the strip" at the rush hours between shows) delays would not be tolerated by us impatient seniors!
Well, even though I'm back, there's lots of stuff that I never got around to posting, so keep watching!
