Thanks Sharon,

I read about the Arkansas trip and said to my husband that was too far for me but if this group would get closer like NW Arkansas I would like to go. The Branson trip is perfect. Linda did say she would tell me about Passport America when I got there.

Glenna - so glad you're coming. wooohoooo.

As to doing things - we'll be all looking at who wants to do what on Friday - and dividing up for different things. So sometimes all of us might do something together - other times we might be on our own - but always with friends around. We should figure out a night to do a potluck or hit a local restaurant.

How long did you make your reservation for - the whole 5 days????

Will be great to meet you.

Glenna, you should probably get the Passport America before you get there. She may be a vendor for them, you might want to call her and ask. Would hate to have you get there and then be stuck paying 38 a nite.

This morning---- one of our friends Tim Hadler was at Cowboy Church with us----- & he gave me coupons for buy one ticket get one free for his show Hank Williams revisited!! So I will have those coupons in your bag----- & another friend who has a show at God & Country Theater over heard us talking----- & he said to remind you all to ask at the theaters--- if they give any kind of discounts--- for "small tour groups"--- so if several of you want to go to the same show---- say you are with the Women's RV tour group--- & get a cut in price- & also he reminded me-------- that many many theaters---- that IF you save your ticket stub-- any other show at that same theater is 1/2 off---so save those ticket stubs--- & even if you don't want to go to another show in that theater- maybe some one in your group does!!
I'm asking friends who have shows in town for special coupons for your goodie bags--- so you will be getting some coupons that are only given to VIP groups--- or LARGE TOUR GROUPS!!
So appreciate--- please those shows please--!!! Thank you!!

Thanks OO...do you know if we can get Verizon phone service out where we're gonna be camped?

[oliveoil]

"Verizon phone service"

Sharon------ we don't have Verizon--- we have another company for our cell phones--- So I had to do some asking around---- & I'm told "yes"-----there is Verizon service here in Branson---- with all the hills we have here--- there are going to be places you get better service than others!!
I hope that helps!

[sharon]

Thanks OO, appreciate the info, just wanted to make sure I could phone out to make reservations at my next stop...or change them if I want to stay longer in Branson!

Sharon----- I don't know if you know or not-- but Mickey was helping a friend move last year--here in Branson-- & he stepped back off of a step with a table in his hands---- & fell flat- backwards-- & hit his head----Mickey was not able to talk or walk or do anything-- & has had to learn to do "everything " all over again----he walks out on stage with help---- & does his show from a chair with rollers on it--- & his voice is as good as ever--- but he can't play piano any now--- & may never be able to again!!!
I cried the first time I saw him after he was back in Branson---(as he went to the hospitals in Texas- then back to Springfield , Mo. has done all kinds of hard work to get back to the health he is right now)--- he had aged so-- but now is looking so much better again---but he still has that WINK!!! I love that man!!! and he still has a really good show---- I have always loved Mickey's music--- & he loves to preform!!! And man could he play that piano before he was hurt!!!

That is really sad! Glad he can still sing, but he sure was a fantastic piano player! That's too bad! Love his voice! I;sn't he related to Jerry Lee Lewis? Cousins or something?

[VickieP]

Yes, Barbie, Mickey Gilley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Jimmy Swaggart are all cousins.

Now there's a combination for you! Talk about going in different directions.
