November One and Two

When we left the hotel in McAlester this morning it was 14 C at 8:30 AM. Yesterday and today we noticed there is lots of roadkill as opposed to almost none in California. Yesterday one of the victims was a brown bear and today lots of small deer.

The first thing we did in Branson was go to the Titanic Museum. It is extremely well done and they have so much reality such as ice like an iceberg and water the same temperature as the night of the sinking. They also have cool temperatures where it would have been cold such as on the deck, etc. We could have stayed longer but were there at least two hours. Actually time is a little confusing again today. The girl in the hotel had her clock saying seven when ours was six and she thought it was correct but it turned out ours was the right time which meant we had time to make it to a show.

We went to the Andy Williams theatre tonight to see his Christmas show. He was amazing for his age and his voice is still great. He ended with 'his' favourite' Xmas song 'Moon River'. What was surprising was that phones and cameras were flashing all over and it seemed to be acceptable but I was reluctant to do it properly and as a result our picture is not very good and only Tony and I would know who it is! A couple of the acts he had in the show were phenomenal. I hope to see them again somewhere else. It was the first night of his Christmas show tonight so we were lucky to get tickets at the last minute.

After the show we went to Ruby Tuesdays for dinner and are now back at the same motel where we stayed last time we were here. It is old but clean and very conveniently located.

Next morning- we ordered tickets for two shows, one this afternoon and another tonight. We stopped in at Walmart and after years of trying we finally got a travel rod for the car to hang clothes. We stopped in at a laundromat with wifi so we can arrive in Connecticut wearing some clean clothes. Next time I go anywhere I am going to take two pairs of jeans and my jean skirt and not one other thing.

Time to go out for lunch!

We went to the Hughes Brothers/Family show. It was sensational and may have surpassed Andy Williams'. Today was the first performance for the Christmas show and they have all their children in it, down to the four week old baby who was in it and little people who could barely walk. One brother has ten or eleven kids and one none but the other three all have some. I think the brother I talked to said there were forty of them. When they go on tour the have a bus that sleeps twelve, a 15 seater van and an RV and when they stop somewhere they either set up tents or rent hotel rooms for the overflow. Such a super talented family.

Tonight we are off to another show.
