Saturday and Sunday

We heard somewhere (can't find confirmation on the web) that the new Branson Wal-Mart Supercenter is the largest in the U.S. and that the old Wal-Mart on the strip in Branson brings in the most money of any U.S.Wal-Mart.  If all that is true, I guess Branson is a good place for Wal-Mart and might explain why they would be the largest supercenter here. This picture is taken from the backside of the parking lot and I couldn't get all of the store in the picture. There's almost as much on the other side of the Wal-Mart sign as is seen on this side of the sign. The departments are seen on the outside where that department is located.  Hmmmm, we bought the best cantaloupe we've eaten in a long time in the Outdoor Living area. Barry and Anna had a cookout on Saturday night.  Barry prayed for cooler weather and God answered his prayer.  Just before we all began to gather at Barry's, the skies became overcast and the temperature dropped to a temperature that everyone could tolerate.  Praise Jesus, there was even a breeze. Just yesterday, Barry bought a little motorcycle for his grandsons and Lucy decided it was just her size.She was right~~ so she took a spin around the park.And then she gave it back to Devon.We had another good time of fellowship, food, and fun.  We ask you to join us in prayer for Barry as he is suffering tremendously with his back as he goes through therapy and is trying to decide about surgery.  That's Barry sitting on the other side of Yvonne, without the cap.It started to lightning a little, so we all decided to go to our houses before the rain started.  Barry's trumpet lilies were just beginning to open.The Rod Parade was talked about at our cookout, but not one of us old fogies stayed up long enough to see it.  One 'rod' was parked in our park, however, so I took a few pictures of it this morning.  Don said it's a 1956 Ford Crown Victoria. Let's see.... I was in the first grade in 1956 when this car came out.This turquoise color was very popular in 1956.  I remember that my brother had a Mercury about the same color.  It also had a 'moon' roof that was tinted the same color.  Very groovey.  These folks came a long way... license plate says Alaska.
