Work and play in Branson

We arise planning to walk on the treadmills at Stonecroft. First, we wanted to go to say hello to our friends that we worked with last year. We ran across the head of housekeeping and told her we would be willing to help with turn around (stripping beds, cleaning rooms, etc.) if we were needed. We went virtually straight to work. We worked until staff lunch where the work crews eat the leftovers from previous meals. They are still very good. The afternoon was free for us and we did laundry, napped and did some repairs on the motor home. One of the towel racks had come loose again, and I made another attempt at repair. I was able to turn the ten minute job into almost an hour but did put a temporary fix on it. We also saw a young man who works maintenance here who might fit the clothes Tom Jones had given us. He came and took them to see if they fit him. The size is right but perhaps they are cut too short; he is a very tall young man. He will return them if not right. We learned in the morning that a large group of volunteer were going to a show, Country Tonight, around 8:00. We found two other couples camped with us, one of whom has a huge truck for his 5th wheel, so we went with them and another couple. Branson is a place that is confusing for me to navigate so I was glad for the ride. Tomorrow, however, will require our going it alone since there are no groups scheduled here until Sunday. At least it will be daylight and there is a map of the city available. We will also look for a church to attend Sunday. We also discovered that it is nearly 700 miles from here to Roswell. We will have two very hard days of driving on Thursday and Friday to be there for the festivities on Saturday morning. Having fun is hard, expensive work! Praise God for the strength and the resources (the modern word for money). I forgot to mention that the weather prediction is for 33 as a low tonight. We aren't used to real weather!
