Sometimes a wild life catches up with ya. The girls and I were lured to Branson by the prospect of good weather and free tickets to Silver Dollar City AND Celebrations City. We got ready quickly after school on Fri and got down there without incident. Joy had warm choc chip cookies waiting for us! The Wheeler B & B really is Branson's finest accommodations! We got up early and were at SDC when it opened. We headed for the new part and started riding. It was a new experience to have everyone in the group riding together--no one having to wait with a little one, since the little one was riding EVERYTHING she was tall enough to ride. Even Katherine the non-fast rider had a great time riding. Em did get slung around a bit on Powder Keg and got a couple bruises. Kat rode that one for the first time--neither are getting on again soon, but the tried it. I still owe Kat $10 for trying it. lol. We hit Celebration City about 4 pm. Only Kat and H had been there, so we were tickled to try all the rides there. After a trip on the wooden roller coaster and an hour wait for the go carts, I was feeling a bit "stove up". We rode and rode until the awesome laser light and fireworks show. It was such a nice day. My neck was still stiff yesterday, but better today. We got home yesterday pm and M was glad to see us. (He stayed home due to a prior commitment.)
So we are back to the races. Kat has a volleyball clinic tonight. H has a skating party with some church kids. The laundry is in control.
I haven't blogged any info about my new business venture into Arbonne. It's so cool, will have to give details later!

Old??? Are you sure??? ha! We had 3 "young" couples over and then there were 2 other "older" couples (and us!)....I thought of the scripture where it says,"the older women should teach the younger women" and I realized that my 2 friends and I were the "older women" in the bunch! Yikes!!! That feels weird!!!
Glad y'all had a good time in Branson. Would love to go there again. By the way....reserve some time in November and I'll bring you a pie! :-) We'll be there (I think) the weekend before Thanksgiving. It's the big 5-0 for my in-laws....I think we're giving them a party...not sure...I'm not included in the plans.....yet??? ha!
When did I get old? Sometime between when I realized I had arthritis and when strangers in Wal-Mart asked about our grandkids (When Julie was a baby). What a trip! Now the aforementioned arthritis keeps me off all the "good" rides at SDC, but I plan the whole day around places I can sit. I haven't had a fast food order-taker ask me if I want my senior citizen discount, yet, but I know it's coming! Love that SDC. We're bringing a group up for the big C of C flim-flam on October 14 & 15, so I'm sure we'll be busy. Take care.
