Visiting Dallas was interesting

We went to see where John F. Kennedy was killed.  We went through the museum that has been created out of the building where he was killed from.  We got to see his memorial.  It brings it all back.  We both still believe that their was still more than just him behind his death.  They showed all the possible conspiracy ideas to date.  None has been proven.  There is also an area down town that has 40 bronze Texas steers and 3 riders crossing a stream.  I really wanted to go see them.  They were great. In another park was a very large megaphone. We walked around downtown for an entire afternoon.  We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  The next day we decided to head to San Antonio.  So we will be in one of our favorite places, Bulverde and San Antonio area until after Christmas.  Talk to you soon.

We enjoyed our time in Branson

Time went by so fast in Branson, MO.  We went to 5 shows.  We went to the Baldknobbers, Dixie Stampede, Pierce Arrow, The Haygoods, The Jerseylands, and we saw the Tree of Lights.  Our favorite one was The Dixie Stampede.  They all had something different to offer, however you cannot take pictures that do them justice during the show.  They really honor the Veteran's here.  They have been honoring them all week.  It is very impressive.  We are also in their Christmas theme.  It is nice to see that they are honoring Christ more than Santa.  To me that is wonderful to see and hear.  On one of our walks we discovered some derelict World War II vehicles.  I took some pictures of a juggler from a pre-show.  These horses are Trigger and Buttercup.  There was a sign at the bridge we crossed almost daily that said "Wear your Life Jackets".  I could not get this picture to download.  It is so funny.  We actually saw cars turn around before they crossed the bridge.  It is a little disconcerting when you think about it.  Just how safe is the bridge, when they tell you to wear a life jacket to cross the bridge.  It was about something else, but it was where it was placed.  We are headed to Oklahoma.  The weather is changing to very COLD tomorrow.  Time to hit the road for South.  Talk to you soon.  Patty & Tom

Our time in St. Louis

We enjoyed our time in St. Louis.  We went to the Budweiser Brewery where we got to see the Clydesdale's in repose.  We did see them walking around but by then we were at the beer sampling phase so we were not taking any more pictures.  I tried some beers that I actually like.  I have not been a big beer drinker in the past.  I like Shock Top apple crisp & strawberry.  They are a light beer.  Tom says he is going to turn me into a beer drinker yet.  We also went on a city tour of St. Louis.  I did not know that the waffle cone got started here all because during the 1904 World's fair they ran out of bowls for the ice cream and their was a booth next to the ice cream booth selling waffles.  They got together and the waffle cone got started.  Iced tea got started at the 1904 World's fair also.  It was very hot and people only ever drank hot tea, they poured it over iced chips, voila iced tea was created.  That particular tree is not one you would want to be under during a storm, it is made of metal.  The buildings here are beautiful.  We enjoyed our tour and learned all kinds of interesting little things about St. Louis.  We just got to Branson, MO.  Will talk to you soon.  Patty & Tom

We leave E-Town tomorrow

We have enjoyed our stay here in E-Town.  We went to the Gun range so I could practice shooting our pistol.  I am getting better and more comfortable shooting.  Some day I may even hit the target.  Actually I do hit the target once in awhile, but as Andy said, for right now my goal is to get my comfort level up.
Amelia Jane was Christened at their church this morning.  It was very nice.  We took a 4 generation picture.  She is 1 month old today.  It is amazing how fast time is flying.  Well we are planning on heading towards St. Louis so I will talk to you soon.  Patty & Tom
