About Me

A little bit about me.....I grew up in North Bellmore, LI, NY . In 1976 I moved in with Cookie, the love of my life. We moved together to Moncure, NC in 2004. That is when I retired from my profession as a Dental Hygienist. Cookie passed on in 2009 and I needed to go forth with my life. I decided to do some traveling. I went to India with my longtime BFAAF Susan, went to Africa with my awesome friends Judy and Mike and my drum group, went to Alaska, again with Judy. I have been to Aruba numerous times with my great friends Susan and Steven. During all this traveling I hated to leave my furry 4 legged children alone. So, I decided to buy a travel trailer. At this writing I am on my 3rd travel trailer and love it. It is a 33 foot Evergreen Everlite that I pull with my 2015 Ford 250 King Ranch Super Duty. I have been snowbirding for the last 4 years in Sarasota, FL at an RV resort there.

Sorry got lax with blogging...

Well, I did the tram ride on Saturday morning. You sat in a pod with 5 other people....felt like I was one of the Jetson's! It was an amazing ride to the top and when you get out at the top you can see the whole city of St. Louis and the Mississippi River. There was sooooo much walking I took the metro liner back to the campground and did nothing. The area was kinda gross and gave me the willies.  So I decided to just leave in the morning and head for Branson, Missouri.



      

After a long ride I arrived in Branson, MO at a nice campground, The Ozark Country Campground. It was down a very long windie road. Branson is overwhelming with what to do and how long to stay. I went to two shows, The Dixie Stampede and Moses. The Dixie Stampede was a very touristy dinner theater but was quite entertaining. Moses was absolutely fabulous. It should be on Broadway! 
 


I also went one day to Table Rock Park. The scenery was beautiful. For your admission you get a golf cart to view the cave and mountains of the park and then to a museum of American Heritage that you could have spent an entire day there.  An interesting story was of the sinkhole. This property and huge golf course is owned by Mr. Morris the founder of Bass Pro Shops. I am told that when he does something, he does it right. Back to the sink hole.....one morning in June of 2016 part of the stunning golf course became a huge sink hole. You can look straight down into it, amazing. Mr. Morris is convinced there is another cave to be found under there somewhere and is excavating with no expense spared to find it.
     
          
 

Left Branson this morning, Wednesday. Drove 340 miles in a windstorm of about 30 mph. Made for a bit strenuous trip. Got to the Spring Lake Campground in Halstead, Kansas about 4:30. The campground was rated a 9. Shouldn't you be able to level your RV in a 9 rated campground? NOT! Anyway, real nice neighbors from Texas and it is fairly close to the things I want to see. Will be here for 2-3 nights.  

Until then...nighty nite!
