Branson, MO, RV Rally—Returning Home

We both woke early, had our coffee, and completed preparations for departing for home.  We were able to visit with Jim and Cheryl for several minutes before completing our chores; we really like them, and enjoy their company.  By 9 AM, we were on the road, arriving home shortly after 11 AM.  Seems like it takes a lot less time to unpack than pack!  By noon, the motorhome was back in its resting place, and we were having lunch.  This was a good trip.  We didn’t do a lot, but really enjoyed the visiting and conversation.  We hope to see most of them again in November in Canton, TX.

Branson, MO, RV Rally—Day 3

What a great night’s sleep; we didn’t awake until 7 AM, late for us.  The motorhome has day/night shades and remains relatively dark, even during daylight hours.  Our house does not have a lot of window treatment, and we sleep and awake relative to the outside darkness; so summer results in less sleep! 
Breakfast this morning, our last of the official rally which runs through today, consisted of egg and sausage casserole, biscuits, and other goodies left from the previous two mornings.  Kay and Connie made a short trip to Dick’s 5 and 10, a store that has almost one of everything, including some hard to find things.  Despite a somewhat overcast sky, we did some pool time in the afternoon, rested from doing nothing (isn’t it great being retired), made some calls, and had our last rally dinner of barbeque beef and pork, potato salad, slaw, and baked beans, and of course, lots of deserts.  After dinner, we visited with fellow rally goers, said our good byes, and returned to the coach for the evening, almost ready to pull out tomorrow morning.
