Cold in Branson, but Tom's chili hits the spot!


This is the picture I took of Don and Tom at the top of the falls that we hiked to see. We enjoyed that hike and I’m sure glad we had a day warm enough to take the hike. It was COLD today!

We did our exercises in the fitness room this morning after breakfast and then cleaned up and went to the movie this afternoon. The movie we wanted to see was sold out, so we bought advance tickets for the next show and took off to Branson Landing. We also did some shopping at my favorite card shop in downtown Branson. It was COLD but we scurried around and had fun while we waited for the next showing of Clint Eastwood’s movie, "Gran Torino." It was another good movie. The language was strong, but for this movie it helped to make the point.

Tom had made chili a couple of days ago, and we’d saved it until the weather was cold and the seasoning had set well. Today was the perfect day for perfect chili! Yum! We ate that when we got home from the movie. Then we traded card tricks and now they’re watching football. Terri, wait till I show you Tom’s card trick!

We’ve had such a good visit. Tom and Linda are leaving Monday because they want to stop on the way home and visit with another friend. I’m hoping she isn’t home or it’s not a good time and they’ll get to stay another night. It’s been a wonderful time, though, so I thank God for it and ask for Him to see them safely home whenever they have to leave.
