Friday June 26th~

Wake up early and tackle
 the day before it tackles you...

 As always Sniff and I are awake very early.  I feed
 the birds, I clean the deck, I feed and brush Sniff, and
 clean his litter pan.  Then I have my cafe.  All of this
 usually before 5:50 in the morning.  I love  mornings
 especially when I get to witness beautiful sunrises.


This summer here in Branson one of our most visited
  spots has been Big Cedar Lodge.  As mentioned before, 
it is enormous, and if you are lucky you will see all 
sorts of wildlife.  So far we have been fortunate.


Sniff has mastered the art of the stairs.  He is 
faster than speedy Gonzalez, of course that can 
very well be the reason he has slimmed down.
 Sniff, like us has had a great time in Branson.


Yesterday one of our friends texted me and told
 us that our hangout, mainly Arvid and the guys 
will be closing its doors on July 4th for good. 
I will sure miss all their delicious drinks.


The owners have a huge home in Florida, and
 several all around Branson.  Will miss Star Bar
 because it had great drinks, was right across from us 
and it was the hangout spot for arvid and the boys.  Even 
Arvid’s brother went to Star Bar. He enjoyed the band
 that played Country music very very much.  Now we
 need to find a new hangout for when we are back.


To all a very good day. As Rocky said: It ain’t
 about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard 
you can get hit and keep moving forward.


Grateful for small things, big 
things and everything in between...
