Cheeky Monkey~ June 17th

The world is full of magical things,
 patiently waiting for our senses to awaken...


 The other day Arvid and I checked out a “new” 
place called Cheeky Monkey.  Truth is when we lived 
here before we had also been there, but because it was 
packed we just went in and then left.  The other night it
 was also packed but somehow Arvid was ok with that. 


The first thing that caught my attention was a 
drink called Spank the Monkey.  I had to try it minus 
the Red Bull.  That would have probably knocked me
 out for the night before the night had begun.


Though it was packed, Arvid didn't mind this time. 
Could be because we went there with Roger.  Once again, 
Roger was known by everyone, and he knew everyone.  Like 
I said before, it's like going out with the local celebrity.


 There was live music and everyone was having a 
merry time.  Some of the drinks were humongous.  Of 
course I tried one. The blue was is called Monkey Fuel. 


 We really liked the place and I hope we go there 
soon again. It was bursting with life. I love seeing
 people having a good time. The band mostly played 
music from the Rolling Stones, CCR and many others 
that I actually knew.  Made it an even better time.


 As we were leaving Arvid said to me, “I’m liking
 this place (Branson) even more every day.”   This time
 we have discovered interesting places and the fact that so 
many have live music makes it even more appealing. 


I’m happy also because in all of these places they
 make every drink imaginable.  I do not drink beer nor 
wine so this makes me happy, plus the food is good. No 
matter where we go, I always find something yummy.


To all a very good day. Looking forward to the new day.


The little things, the small moments,
 are the ones that make our lives beautiful..
