A little family time in the Ozarks

I'm falling a little behind on the posts - actually vacationing while on vacation. Saturday we arrived in Branson. Of course, all of my planning and research and I didn't realize that Branson is in the Ozarks - that's the OZARK MOUNTAINS!!!  Anyway, the interstates were fine but some of the state highways are more than a little "dicey", especially at night - no streetlights. Seems that they're also saving taxpayer money on guardrails!
Anyhow, we met Marlene's brother Steve and his wife Linda for a wonderful meal Saturday night and Sunday morning breakfast. They live in Oklahoma and drove here to meet us. We spent a few lovely hours together doing the usual family things, talking about the kids and grandkids, reminiscing about growing up and parents no longer with us, and looking at pictures. We were very happy that they could make the time to meet us.
