Here it is Wednesday, and we’re in Oklahoma on a toll road, about to get to Bob Bedard’s house. He invited us for lunch but we won’t be there until about 2:30 so we’ll be eating a bit later than usual, but we’ll survive.

Yesterday, in Branson, was a fun experience. We hit a bunch of gift shops, a dulcimer store, and then in the evening went to a dinner/theater to see “Magnificant Seven” variety show. It was very impressive from vocal/dancing cast of five men and five women plus an eight piece on stage band.

For me, Amanda stole the show.. She was a multi-talented 18-year-old, who could belt ’em out like the best of the professionals. The costuming was great, dancing up to speed, band “right on” and the vocals super. We were impressed.

Today we left Branson about 9:00 and found an RV salvage place at exit 22 on Hwy. 44. They had a rebuilt hot water heater, so we got it and John installed it there, where he could ask questions, if needed.

That stop delayed us so I hope Bob understands. (I have kept him advised by email and called him when we crossed into Oklahoma.)

Temperature is 83 with a little haze and some fluffy clouds. No rain is predicted.

When we leave Bob Bedard’s, we’ll still have 250 miles to go before we stop tonight, so we want to be back on the road at about 4:00. (It’s 2:03 right now.)
