Friday October 2nd~

A magic show is a special place 
where people leave logic behind and 
experience a sense of wonder...

I previously featured a post on 
Reza Edge of Illusion.  At that time we had 
not been to the show, last night we did. 


 Reza is a popular, family-friendly magic and 
illusion show in Branson, Missouri, known for its 
large scale, high energy production that blends grand
 illusions with comedy and audience interaction. Branson
 is known for its entertainment, it's not in vain they call it
 “little Las Vegas.”  No matter where you go the huge 
billboards follow you.  Reza’s billboard like so many
 others are everywhere and that was the reason I 
have chosen this show.  Plus the good reviews.


I have to say that I did not totally "love" 
the show.  It was okay.  We got to experience 
one of Branson's "best" as it was referred to.


As always, Arvid and I made the most of it.  
The show was almost 2 hours long.  Way too 
long for us. My attention span was all over
 the place, mainly when will this be done.


I have told Arvid that every summer we
 are in Branson we will see/do something new.
  Reza was our "new" thing for this summer.


The birds 🐦 still have now been around.  The food
 is there all the time.  Squirrel on the other hand shows 
up several times during the day to grab and go. I always 
leave peanuts for him.  I have so much have to use it 
up before our time here is up.  Keeps Sniff busy.


It's Friday and rain is predicted all day long.  We 
need the rain and just maybe the birds will show up. 
In the meantime the Canadian Geese are coming
 back.  Fall in the Ozarks is a beautiful time.


To all a very good day and a happy start
 of the weekend.  It's Friday.  No plans as yet, but 
the day is still early.  Just have to wait and see.


The average attention span of the
 modern human being is about half as long
 as whatever you're trying to tell them...

October 1st New Month~

In October we wear pink💕


 Every month has its own unique essence, 
but October's vibe is truly one of a kind. With 
fall arriving in full force, the leaves turning vibrant
 colors, and the spookiest holiday, Halloween, of
 course! fast approaching, no other month is 
quite as magical, comforting, and charming. 


October gives us 31 full days of cozy 
flannels, seasonal decorations, pumpkin 
spice, leaf piles, corn mazes, and so much more 
festive fun.  Also October is when our third
 granddaughter was born.  Little Amelia makes
 the month and our lives even better.


Looking forward to some cooler temperatures
 and to enjoying our last month in Branson.


 Arvid and I took a trip to Big Cedar Lodge.  
Of course we saw the deer we always do. We saw
 a family of four just relaxing.  Yesterday a lil'
 birdie visited as well.  Was a very good day.


We also went to Truman's cafe and Custard. 
 Can't go to Cedar Lodge and not have frozen custard. 
 I also took food to feed the birds, and squirrels. 


If you are ever in Branson, do take a trip to 
Big Cedar Lodge known as America's Premier 
Wilderness Resort. Big Cedar Lodge is a 4,600-acre
 luxury wilderness resort located just south of Branson in 
Ridgedale, Missouri, overlooking Table Rock Lake. 


All of October: Often called "Pink October,"
 created to increase attention and awareness each
 year where people wear pink and display pink ribbons 
daily.  October is known as breast cancer awareness
 month.  A famous person once said, "I had 
 cancer, cancer did not have me."  


Courage doesn't always roar.  Sometimes 
courage is the little voice at the end of the
 day that says I'll try again tomorrow.


Cheers to October, a month of growth,
 change, and endless possibilities...
