Monday May 25th~

In the End, we will remember not the words
 of our enemies, but the silence of our friends...

 Memorial day weekend continues.  Hope everyone 
so far is having a safe one and a good one.  While we 
enjoy time with family, BBQ's and friends, may we 
not forget the men and women who made this possible. 
They who have sacrificed themselves for our freedom
 This nation will remain the land of the free only 
so long as it is the home of the brave.


The week begins with all my little friends
 showing up.  Was so happy to be able to feed
 Charly.  Yes she has a home, but still.  I see Daisy
 and Fatboy everyday, the male and female cardinals,
 but they are super alert and disappear before I can 
get a picture.  Just happy everyone is coming around. 
 They keep Sniff, Arvid and I very entertained.


Yesterday turned out to be a pretty good day.  We
 had our usual outing and since we had good weather
 we chose to go to The Landing.  Outdoor dining 
with a view. The best. Food was also very good.


After that we we came home for a little 
then decided to go and listen to some music. 
 I found a venue that was playing Reggae.  


Of course it was where we headed.  The place 
is called Lake Vibez, originally known as Area 71. 
 It is your destination gas station for good food, 
good drinks, and great Branson entertainment.


The evening was still young so we came home.  
Parked the car and walked over to Star Bar.  We sure
made the right decision. They also had live music, but 
when we got there is was almost done.  That was 
all right because it was a bit on the quieter side 
which allowed us to chat with everyone.


  A few of our friends were there.  The owners
 were also there.  Jeff, the owner kept piling us
 with snacks and food.  It was all delicious but it 
was also almost midnight so eating at that hour
 was not the best.  It did not stop us.  Arvid loved the
 pork rinds.  They were freshly made.  We also had 
way too many chicken wings. They were delicious.


Did I forget to mention that the drinks are 
always amazing.  Matt the bartender made
 me what's called a flaming Mai Tai.  Boy was
 it delicious.  I have to admit, they all were.


While we were there many more showed up. 
 Four young men came in at once and since there was 
so many wings left, it was offered to them.  As Arvid said,
 "when you're young you can eat."  They ate and enjoyed 
the wings and drinks.  Was a very good evening.


The new week begins quietly, but there are 
a few things in the works.  I know it will soon 
get busy.  Wishing everyone a good day.  Many
 have the day off.  Be safe and let us not forget 
the men and women who gave their lives for us.


Americans play to win all of the time. I wouldn't give
 a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's
 why Americans have never lost nor will ever lose a war;
 for the very idea of losing is hateful to an American...
