Awake: 6:04am Temp 48 sleep 6+46 sunny overnight @ Branson, MO.

Before breakfast, Gary & I walk the campground for (30) min of exercise.

@ 9:00am, our (2) chartered buses take us downtown to experience the Clay Cooper Country music show with singing, dancing, gun slinging, rope twirling & some comedy thrown in. It was a good show but I am not into country music; I heard no complaints.

We are bused back to our campground where we have lunch on our own. @ 2:00pm, we’re bused downtown again for the Andy Williams Christmas Show. Now this show was great! (2) hrs of wholesome family entertainment: a large orchestra, my kind of music, singers, dancers & some specialty acts kept us applauding & smiling throughout. Andy (age 81) still has a good voice & told some very funny jokes & stories.

Back in our motorhome, I call Mark & Joan & leave a message; we talked with them just over a week ago @ their daughter’s wedding in Ohio. By coincidence, they too will be in Branson this week; being bused down from Massillon, Ohio for the Christmas shows.

Back @ the clubhouse by 6:00pm, we had our cocktails & appetizers & then, a catered dinner by Macaroni Grill; excellent meal, especially the smoked salmon.

After dinner, interested individuals had the opportunity to join in a “Texas Hold’em
Tournament” for an entry fee of $20.00. A professional group provided the tables, chips, & dealers. Kathy decided to try her hand at the game; at one point she had quite a large pile of chips & even managed to hang in until they were down to one table (started with 8 tables), but she finished 6th…out of money. The top (3) players won cash prizes. Even though, Kathy didn’t make the cut, she had a fun time.

During the tournament, (2) large TV screens were monitored by non-players tracking the Presidential election results.
Lights out: 11:27pm
