May Day 2023

Good morning ☀️ 

First here is this week’s to do list 

Sometimes I put so many things on the list, I know they won’t get done that week. But this week is a shorter list, and I do hope to accomplish all of it. 

We will see!

There are many stores to shop at in Branson Missouri. We only went to a Walmart twice to get groceries.

 We also went to two thrift stores in Branson. I am very selective about what I bring home anymore.

One of the thrift stores had quite a few rubber stamps. I looked through all of them and only bought this set of three. The set was five dollars.

Three skeins of cotton yarn, one dollar each.

I don’t crochet much, but I do like cotton dish cloths, and I like the colors of these yarns. 

I also bought about 10 cotton bandannas from the women’s accessories department.

 My husband likes to use bandannas for handkerchiefs, and 100% cotton ones are very hard to find. He was happy with this find!

I also bought him at a large coffee mug for a Quarter. All of the coffee cups in our rented condo were tiny  and he likes a big mug. 

Happy May Day, everyone🌸🪻🌷

April 2023 Highlights

Hello everyone 

April went by so fast! I want to blog one last time this month so I’m going to just post a bunch of things from our April 

Easter was fun.  We had a smaller family gathering with very easy food and some egg things.

  

Remember those little guys from what seems like just a few weeks ago?

Now they look like this….

They are 10, 11 and 14 now.  

Our youngest grand, Cora was here for a very short visit (like 36 hours) this month.  We were so busy the whole time but by evening,  she and cousin Jackson were both so tired.  

They were both waiting on their parents.  So these  2 finally laid down and watched tv and I don’t know how they stayed awake.  They were still excited and just happy to see each other 

Not good things this month- the hot water heater broke but thankfully my husband and stepson were able to replace it.  The old one was 9 years old. 

And the washing machine is not working right.  It’s about 2 years old but we bought a 5 year warranty as our appliances never seem to last long.  Repair person is coming tomorrow. 

We took a trip to Branson, Missouri- I guess it’s our favorite vacation place as we never go anywhere else.  

We like to see the live music and comedy shows that Branson is famous for.  

We stayed a full week and saw 15 shows and below are photos from a few of them. 

Hits of the 80s at the American Theater 

Acrobats from somewhere in China at the Mickey Gilley Theatre 

Clay Cooper with part of his cast 

The Haywood’s at Clay Cooper’s Theatre 

Back to the 6o’s, also at Clay Cooper

Country Jamboree at Grand Country Music Hall

There are lots of things to do in Branson like golf, water activities, fishing, arcades, so much shopping!  But we like the shows best of all.  

At home, we’ve started just a bit of gardening.  

And there are always things to do around our house, yours too I imagine? 

I’ll be back tomorrow with a new week’s to do list.  

Good night everyone 

❤️ Rhonda
