Haven't been there for a few years but you may want to see who is at the Grand Palace. We went to the Dixie Stampede and it was a meal and a western variety show. It was entertaining enough that my dd at 2 yrs liked it. Food was good too. The entertainment is in an arena and they use period or theme costumes and do a lot of trick riding. At least they did.
Shoji Tobuchi (spelling) is excellent I've been told. If he's still there.

MarciaSC, With regard to wives still having almost the same load after husbands retire. I've told this story quite often, and get varying replies - I've been a retirement consultant for a few years. Husband retires. On the morning after, he sits reading the paper. For a few minutes. Lowers the paper, looks around. Raises the paper, reads for a few minutes. Lowers the paper, looks around. Same thing happens again. When next he lowers the paper, wife asks, "Everything O.K., dear?". Husband asks in reply, "Where's breakfast?" Wife says, "You retired yesterday, didn't you?" Husband says, "Yes, of course - you know that". Wife says, "So did I". Then she adds, "Tell you what - I'll get breakfast now, then we'll sit down and discuss who's to do what around here. We need to have equal amounts of chores to do, in future". As I said - I've had varying responses. Wives especially get a kick out of it. Several have said, "That's a good idea - we'll have to try that". Husbands may not care for the prospect - but find it hard to dispute the logic of such a proposal. Good wishes for equalized household chores in future - where there's two of you. Even if I were to make such a statement - there's no one else around to hear. So - I'm stuck with doing all the chores, myself. No spouse around to notify me that I'm not doing it most efficiently or the easiest way. Good wishes to all. joyful guy/Ed P.S. Keep making new friends - the old ones keep dying off. When it's your turn - you don't have that problem any more. EB

Branson (Mosaic?) Vacation, Anyone?

I have to agree with Slow, I spent the early years in the Branson area and other than seeing you and your Mom, there is not a desire there for me. I also am going to have to limit my travel due to the gas prices. It would take a car load of us splitting expenses to be able to do this. Maybe we could get a bunch together, maybe not? Tell your Mom to post pictures of the angel, I am anxiously awaiting.

My Dudley after his first grooming ever. (He's 7+). The groomer suggested that his middle name should be "Wild". LOL (Apparently he didn't enjoy being up on that grooming table.) He looks so cute. We've never seen him with his hair this short. Don't mind the messy background - he likes to sleep under my computer desk.)

I would like to see a Carol Burnett marathon on some station. I'd be glued to my seat all day and night, and so would DH. The skits with Burnett, Conway, and Korman were priceless. And the time Carol basically dared a young man from the audience to come up and sing, and he did, and did a WONDERFUL job with "What I did for love." And the time Carol had Beverly Sills on the show, and sang with her. Chills! A locked chord whenever I hear it still gives chills! As a kid, we didn't have TV. But later, I remember George Goeble's gentle humor, and Tennessee Ernie, and Perry Como. Yes, I miss the variety shows. Who knows what we'd see if that format was brought back? I don't even want to think about it.

I enjoyed the Jim Stafford show also. I didn't like the Dixie Stampede much ~ felt as if they were "throwing" the food at you. The Majic Show was okay, but they spent a lot of time selling these "weasel" puppets that your kids will REALLY want after they see the show.

I liked Dixie Stampede. I have heard that Mo Bandy is very good.

Being very anti-country music - my friends laughed when I told them we were going to Branson! Pooh on them. LOL We thoroughly enjoyed the trip up there, new scenery for us, and the shows we most enjoyed were Andy Williams, Shoji, and at the Grand Palace - Dino! All these shows were marvelous. Never quite found any really delicious food, but it was ok. I loved being in that area. We went in October, and the leaves were turning - just gorgeous.

Thanks for all your responses to my question. We just got back from Branson tonite and we had a great time. Went to see the Presley's, The Spirit of the Dance and the Baldknobbers. They were all great ...especially liked the Baldknobbers. Also went up to Springfield to the Bass Pro Shop. Amazing!!! On the way back stopped at Lamberts to eat and it was delicious.
