Sunday May 10th~

If you love life, don't waste time,
 for time is what life is made up of...

 Yesterday was just another very good day for us. 
For starters we are having the best weather possible. 
Blue skies, sunny jet when you’re by the water
 there is a coolness in the air. Loving it.



Arvid as always had a few soccer games to
 watch in the morning and early afternoon hours. 
 He watches a lot of soccer.  I took that at time 
to go to Almost Home and see a few friends.

 I was specifically going to see one of our
 previous tenants, she still lives there  going on to 
12 years. She’s going through a really rough time and
 I told Arvid that I would like for us to help her out. 
 So I made arrangements, met with her, and hopefully
 with our help she can breathe a little easier. Life is not 
easy for so many. Definitely not for her right now. 


While at Almost Home I also met up with 
several other tenants. Yeah they were our tenants 
as well when we ran Almost Home. It was really good
 to talk to all of them.  I laughed quite a bit with the
 stories of one of the guys.  Arvid and I had taken him 
out for drinks when we were there and I want to do it 
again soon. He makes us laugh with his stories.  


After that I came home. Arvid’s games were still
 going on.  After his game I took him out to dinner to 
the place of my choice.  We went to Capone’s Speakeasy. 
 Definitely the best steak I have ever eaten.  It just
 melts in your mouth. I have been dreaming of 
this steak since we left Branson last year.


After Capone's we went to Branson Landing. 
 The day was just too beautiful to not be outdoors. 
 Nowhere better than the Landing.  On the lake, good 
views, boats passing by and obviously great drinks. 


 Any place that carries Landshark beer is a winner
 for Arvid, but if you also have the views and ambiance
 to go with it, it's the place for us.  Such is LandShark
 Margaritaville at Branson Landing. It's our for great 
outings place.  When you know, you know. 


Whenever we are by anyplace on the water 
Arvid gets this itch to buy a place on the lake. 
 That itch goes away within a few weeks when 
practicality and reason kicks in, but for those few
 weeks, boy is he busy on his quest for that place.
  Life with Arvid, always interesting. Always busy.


Back home it was relaxed time with Sniff and a
 movie on Netflix. The day was very good.  My
first 2 days in Branson so far have been better than
 I expected.  Life is good right now.  Even though 
there are things going on under the surface (medical) 
I will take happiness right now.  It feels very good.


A good day to all, and to all a Happy Mother's Day.  
Especially to my mom and my four sisters.


To the world you are a mother, but to 
your family you are the world. A mother's 
love is the first home we ever know...
