We hit a bunch of gift shops, a dulcimer store, and then in the evening went to a dinner\/theater to see &#8220;Magnificant Seven&#8221;\u009d variety show.  It was very impressive from vocal\/dancing cast of five men and five women plus an eight piece on stage band.  <\/p>\n<p>For me, Amanda stole the show..  She was a multi-talented 18-year-old, who could belt &#8217;em out like the best of the professionals.   The costuming was great, dancing up to speed, band &#8220;right on&#8221;\u009d and the vocals super.  We were impressed.<\/p>\n<p>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.  <\/p>\n<p>That stop delayed us so I hope Bob understands.  (I have kept him advised by email and called him when we crossed into Oklahoma.)<\/p>\n<p>Temperature is 83 with a little haze and some fluffy clouds.  No rain is predicted. <\/p>\n<p>When we leave Bob Bedard&#8217;s, we&#8217;ll still have 250 miles to go before we stop tonight, so we want to be back on the road at about 4:00.
