Heading to Branson

-
Greetings from a hot and humid area of the country! Farm life is a little more difficult when the temperatures are in the 90's and heat indexes are even higher. If you live in an area that does not have a lot of humidity, you sure are lucky.

I figured I better get on here today and write a bit as I will be leaving to go to my daughter's this week and then we are headed to Branson, Missouri for our annual Pink Zebra reunion. Last year, we were supposed to be in Branson, but due to Co-Vid, we were only able to be virtual. This year, the show is back on and we are super excited to be heading that way on Thursday! It is not my first trip to the area, but I am excited to go back and I love getting to meet Zebras from all over the country and will meet two of our team mates for the first time in person! Super exciting!!!!

We will arrive on Thursday and Friday evening we will be taking a cruise on the Branson Belle with many consultants from around the US. 
This will be a first as I was not able to do this the first time I was in Branson. A cruise on beautiful Table Rock Lake is a perfect ending to an exciting day! I am sure that Tom and Kelly, the Co Founders of the company will make the trip absolutely amazing and memorable as they treat us as family!

Our convention is near Branson Landing and it is absolutely beautiful. Lots of shopping and dining options near by and some beautiful views. The fountains are stunning during the day!

And Magical at night


I will be sure to share many of my own photos as soon as I can. 

The farm will not be home to me for several days now as I will leave for Branson and then when we return from there, my daughter and I will be home one day and then we will travel to Kentucky to set up at a sale for several days as well. 

As I was preparing my calendar this morning, I realized that I am only home for about 12 days the entire month of August. It's going to wear me out, but I intend to have fun and enjoy the time that I am with her. I will get back on as I can and write for here. Just remember if you don't hear from me, I am simply working my business and enjoying life!

      I have been there before and it is a town that revolves on tourism, but I enjoyed our trip there before.

      No, Branson Belle is a dinner show boat and has large paddlewheels on it.

I read this as part of a challenge to read classical books and this month was to reread a classic.

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change...
