Greenbrier, Arkansas
Weather - cold and wet
Again an early start after a wonderful night's sleep in a big marshmallow of a bed at the Hampton Inn. Nasty weather was threatening so we wanted to get going early. The sky was overcast and dismal and there was an abundant quantity of road kill....all sorts of critters...including a skunk! and a few deer.
We saw an Amish horse and carriage but I wasn't quick enough to get a photo it. It was like this file photo and I wouldn't fancy riding in that on a cold wet day with heavy cross winds.
We stopped at Branson, Missouri for lunch and WOW!! What a town! A bit of Nashville...a bit of Vegas....a bit of Universal Studios...and every type of fast food or restaurant you could possibly think of. I love it. Might have to go for a revisit at some stage. Lots of pics!

| Say what? |
We continued on as the weather
deteriorated and became very foggy.
It was great to finally get to Kae and Ang's home again after 5 years. It's a beautiful log cabin home set on 6 acres of wonderful countryside. Three new additions since my last trip are a back deck overlooking the pool, a 3 car garage and a tornado shelter.

One of my favourite things is sitting around the fire pit (if the rain stops) and the possibility of deer being spotted from the house. This is such a lovely place owned by wonderful people and I do so love it here. Ang & Kae have certainly been looking after me....I've been spoilt rotten so far :)
Angelo isn't a man to be messed with as you can tell by his belt accessory.
I'm looking forward to a relaxing time here enjoying the sights and the company.
