Last night was spent in Eureka Springs, AR in the beautiful Ozarks. My paternal grandparents moved from Arkansas in the early 1920's to the flatlands of Texas and looking at the beautiful greenery I think it might have been our loss. Each time I have been in Arkansas I have been mesmerized by its beauty. Tonight we are in Branson, MO and it is every bit as lovely. The rolling hills and crooked roads made for interesting travel in a motorhome this morning. The dogwoods and redbuds are coming out right now and filling the horizons with color and aroma. We are ahead of the crowds here in Branson so the traffic is minimal at the moment. According to the KOA owner in Eureka Springs the economy has had a profound effect on their tourist business. I suspect the same could be said about Branson as there are many closed and for sale businesses including theaters and restaurants.
Tomorrow night we have tickets to a show at one of the theaters. It is the #1 Hits of the 60's. Since that is "our" music we will really enjoy it, at least I hope we do.
Yesterday we got word that Grandpa Chance had his second cataract surgery yesterday morning. He did very well and should be able to see much better now that the last eye has been done.
We look forward to continuing our journey north into the Northeast on Friday.
