Good thing I was away, or I'd have really missed your blog. Glad you're back and that you had a good time. We had a great time and were able to see your family. I gave Dan a bad time about his comments on your blog. He enlightened me a bit on some of his comments, and I haven't stopped laughing about it since!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702717310005882306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272160714315459088.post-63049049362792976772007-12-31T13:36:00.000-06:002007-12-31T13:36:00.000-06:00I was starting to think you were becoming like the...I was starting to think you were becoming like the rest of us who can't think of things interesting enough to blog about to blog more than once a week!

Should I wait until I can receive full use of a Senior discount, wear a swishy-jogging suit and eat all my meals before 5:00pm? <BR/><BR/>On the 13th you are cordially invited to run a marathon instead of speak at church.

It is something you really do have to experience for yourself to appreciate. We were there a year ago Thanksgiving - try searching for a place to have Thanksgiving dinner when your 2nd son has the stomach flu. Brings a whole new light to buffets. Next time check out Silver Dollar City - that made our trip! We loved it, young and old! It is also next to the only Wal-mart that sells Laundry Detergent, Carpet Fresheners, and Pepto-Bismal on Thanksgiving Day.<BR/><BR/>Welcome Back - it was a dry day at church!Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505982048644723257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272160714315459088.post-84627847759368837812007-12-30T20:44:00.000-06:002007-12-30T20:44:00.000-06:00When my inlaws went to Branson I knew I could neve...When my inlaws went to Branson I knew I could never go there.
