One of many craft and specialty shops around Branson.
Sharon and I managed to try a little of everything in this shop. Cheese spreads, dips, coffees, spiced drinks and other good stuff. This dealer was next to a shop that made dulcimers and guitars. Unfortunately the workers had already gone home but left much of their finished and almost finished work to look over. Lots of quilts and blown glass were in adjacent shops but far too much to see.
Tom and Hilda Wood of Baton Rouge. Celebrating their 55th wedding anniversary in Branson. He recited a poem to us he wrote for his bride and gave us a card with the Rules for a Happy Marriage" . Among them was...."Make time to have fun together
You are never too old to play
Remember to say "I love you"
At least once or twice a day"
Tom was a Korean War Navy Vet who was a radioman on a landing craft in the first wave of the invasion of Enchon . Filled with many stories but his most favorite was any that included his wife whom was still very much in love with. Quite a couple we were lucky to have met.
This is the real Branson....Miles of neon and flashing lights, signs that rival Las Vegas but with some of the most courteous people we've met so far on our trip. Three days here and did not see a single police officer on the street. Finally saw one this evening in a squad car. Driving in the city requires lots of patience and quick reaction times and good brakes.
We enjoyed a nice dinner at Landy's Seafood Restaurant. Waitress was pleasant but was from a town named Blue Eye. When asked how the town got its name she replied that the mailman apparently had blue eyes. Go figure.
