Saturday July 26th~

Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery 

you miss by going too fast - you also miss the

 sense of where you are going and why...

 Not much happened yesterday.  Finally a few birdies 

showed up.  They ate some foodies and took off.  Sniff of

 course was asleep so he missed the entire thirty seconds

 of their shenanigans 😂.  His patience wore off.  Maybe

 today we see some more. We sure miss them. Waiting

 is not easy.  Just look at how exhausted Sniff is.

Friday was quiet for us.  Did a few necessary chores, 

but other than that we stayed home.  Arvid is getting 

a cold/flu.  All I can say is that I am so happy he does

 not have to go through all I go through.  Men do

 not bear "illnesses" well.  That's all I will say.

Branson is very busy right now.  Summer is it's peak

 season.  Mainly June to August when school is off.

That goes on until December 31st.  After that 

it is quiet once again until February. 

Yesterday was a slow day, so I will do a little background

 on Branson.  I still don't understand the attraction, but everyone 

else does.  For the entertainment industry and the hospitality

 industry, Branson is a gold mine in it's peak season.

We spent a quiet day at home.  We watched a couple 

of movies and Sniff and I keep waiting for the birdies

 to come back.  Two showed up yesterday, ate a little but 

took off really fast.  As the sun was setting I saw a black

 and white kitty in the distance.  Never seen before. 

 I woke up this morning and he was sitting at

 the doorstep of the building right across from us. 

 Of course took off with foodies for him/her. 

 So far it's a good morning, but will be better if 

the birdies show up.  Sniff and I continue to wait.

Each new day has a different

 shape to it. You just roll with it...
