Missouri
This past week I was in Camdenton, Lebanon and Branson Missouri. Camdenton and Lebanon were for business and Branson was for some R&R. I was in Branson for two days where I literally did nothing. It was great. I got to my condo about 3:00 PM and finally ventured out around 6:00 PM to grab a bite to eat. Back by 7:30 PM where I stayed for the rest of the night and most of the next day until around 4:00 PM when I ventured out again for another bite to eat.
It started with a trip to Camdenton, MO, my first. Camdenton is a little town in north central Missouri that is known for it water activities. It was a nice trip, but busy. The only bad part about the trip was the fact that I forgot a very important piece of equipment back at home. My LCD projector. I had to rent one in Springfield. Thank God for good friends all over the country who will help you out at the last minute.
Such was the case here. A good friend in Springfield came to my rescue and tracked down a projector that I could rent for the week. The place he rented it from was even closed, but he still managed to work things out to I could get what I needed. I am forever in his debt.
After Camdenton I headed back to Springfield to return the LCD projector, then on to Branson for some R&R. The greatest part of Branson was not the shows, as I didn't take any in. It was sitting on the porch the next mornign, drinking a cup of coffee, listening to the birds sing joyous morning songs and watching the squirrels chase each other through the trees. It was so peaceful.
I chatted with my son via instant message for about 20 minutes, which was a special treat since he is over seas and it will be many months before I get to see him again. No he is not in the military. However he is serving in another army in another country for a glorious leader and a life altering cause. We had a great time "talking."
On Saturday, September 11, 2004 I left Branson and headed to Lebanon. Upon arriving in Lebanon I found that I was staying right across the street from a Case Knife factory and they were having their 10th annual knife show and auction. It was quite fun and I got three knives for Christmas gifts while there.
On Sunday, September 12, 2004 I left Lebanon, MO for home - an 10 hour drive. After stopping for a bite to eat in Dallas I made it home by 2:30 AM on Monday morning. I leave again on Saturday for the Beaumont area.
Since this is my first blog I really don't know what I am doing to I guess that I will just journal for a while and see what happens.
