BRANSON CONTINUED - JUNE 22ND

As we said, there is so much to see and do here and each day is a new adventure. We decided to go see a show that Denis and Joe went to called "Bill Haley and The Comets" and also see the 57' Heaven museum at the same time.


The 57 museum is owned by a neighbor at MCC, Glenn Patch. I can't tell you how fabulous this place is, especially if you remember the years from 1953 to 1960's. There were almost every kind of 1957 car you can imagine, each one so perfect. The museum also had memorabilia from that era of all kinds of items. Critch walked through the museum for over 1 1/2 hrs just viewing the cars. It was amazing to see the prices of the cars at the time they were sold. I enjoyed it also as there was a "Texaco" service station which looked like my dad's that he had back in the early 50's. This Dodge was just like my 1st husband when we were dating!!!! Only it was blue!

The Comet show was one of the best we have seen with lots of oldies. There were 3 of the original "Comets" there, the drummer being 84 years old, the two other are 74 and 76! Both Critch and I really enjoyed this and had front row seats so really got into the mood. The drummer brought the house down with his solo performance. For those of you at MCC, I had to take a picture of the piano player as he looked like Herb Easley on the piano!!! Maybe he started a new career?

For anyone that has not visited Branson, I highly recommend it. There is so much more here than I realized, and actually very pretty country, lakes and beautiful trees. We have had some wild thunder and lightening storms with a little hail, but the dogs and I just cover up and hold on!

We are spending this week trying to get things caught up. Have the RV guy coming back to fix my electric reel and today we have a dentist appointment to see what we can do about Critch's 2 teeth he broke! Oh well, it just takes time and this 2 weeks is giving us the chance to get everything done.
