Once upon a time not so long ago Tommy used to work on the docks hehe

OK so it was long ago

My fond memories are going on vacation with Maw Maw, Paw Paw, Rob and Rock
thump thump thump thump (the fat tires on the cadillac) going to Branson staying at the same hotel every time, getting lost every time (Jack wake up), stopping at Coursey's for that awesome ham and smoked cheese, Robbie and Rocky saying when we get to the hotel tell Paw Paw you want to go swimming, the horrible buzz and crackle of the CB, actually getting to know the owners of the hotel and the singers in the shows it was crazy fun. I remember sleeping up in the back window of the car, who needs seat belts when you're driving in the mountains while sleeping? Somehow we survived and then Kasey started going and trying to set me up with every guy in Branson that was my age or close to it, but would Paw Paw let me go anywhere with them no!!! I can however go with the bass singer for the Texans who was like moms age, I didn't really understand that one but it is the Paw Paw we all know and love. hehe It really is some wonderful memories. I remember shopping at all the little shops and picking out lovely turtles for mom (I'm sure she really appreciated the thousands of turtles) but she acted like they were the best things in the world (sorry mom) . The smell of iron on t-shirts still make me think of the stores in Branson, it has changed so much, but the memories of it still make me love to go there. Now my children love to go and Maw Maw and Paw Paw are making it special to them too. We had so much fun last year on the trip (the McDonalds is over there PawPaw) we laughed alot and it was great to spend time with Ash and Shel. I don't know if we will get to go again like that but I think it should become a new thing for our family we should all try and get together and go if only for a cople of days. I know it is not really everybody's idea of a great time but the memories we bring with us make it worth the trip.

Anyway I have rambeled (sp ck Ash) on enough I will post again at some random time with some random thought.

TTFN love to all!!!

Gee I was expecting a Bon Jovi story. Somehow I never thought of Branson and Bon Jovi in the same day, much less the same story. Love you Gret.
