Branson Talk / Re: Andy Williams

« on: September 27, 2012, 03:16:20 PM »

It was truly a sad day in the passing of Andy Williams.  My fondness memory is the show I took my girls to Andy performed with Ann Margaret.  I loved his christmas shows and felt it was a family tradition to attend.

Currently, I live in Southern Illinois and our gas this morning was $3.75.  I do not see it stopping yet.  The price last week was $3.49.

When my son was small there were two ball pits one was where the wax hand dipping is today and the other one was closer to the Tom Sawyer if my memory is right it is where the ballon ride was.  I do have pictures at home.

Hey, I even gone to yard sales in Branson.... you would be load up on sweatshirts and t shirts from entertainers shows that were in excellent condition.  There was a subdivision on road that started with Bee that would have a neighborhood yard sale every April.  I would buy for myself only.

I think the guy who bought the 2 goat heads for a special meal with wife - would have to find him somewhere else to live.  I can thrifty but that is too much.  Quite frank, for a present you buy animal crackers.  Really?

2012 is my first trip without my mother accompanying us.  We have been coming for the past 12 years together since my father passed.  However, last year she fell and broke her hip and therefore, her health has changed greatly.  I have missed SDC and look forward to coming back this year.

I agree with getting rid of the basketballs I get real tired of hearing the bouncing all over the park.  My girls needed one and after they got one they sat in the garage losing air.

I would love for them to open Huck Finn treehouse again alot of good memories with my son.

I am thankful for all that posted pictures this year.  This year has been tough and I was not able to make it to SDC at all this year.  I am going to get season passes for next year and take my girls and grandbabies!!!

We really enjoyed going to the Arch, History and Art Museums but we also love going to Grant's Farm.  This year we went there for Halloween.  We had a fantastic time - it was nice to see people with their families and enjoying the scenery and music.  The only thing I did not like is the cost for a hotel room.  We stayed in a Drury Inn Suite and I could stay in Branson 6 nights for what I paid for 1 King Suite.

The Cardinals are a team that actually believes in themselves.  They weren't suppose to be there and they are enjoying playing the game of baseball.  Bring on the Brewers
