While we were at SDC in Branson, we saw many pretty Christmas trees loaded with all kinds of beautiful ornaments to decorate a tree. There was even a life-sized Santa decked out all in white to coordinate with the white trees. There were trees trimmed all in blue, red, white, light aqua, and even purple. The "purple tree" made me think of a particular blogger who loves that color!
Purple ornaments, anyone?
While we love SDC, it's not the only place we like to visit while in Branson. One afternoon, my daughter and I left hubby and my son at the condo watching a football game and we headed down to the Grand Village.
I'm not a big shopper, but I always like to stop by the Grand Village and I always love to stop in at the Hard Luck Diner while we're there and have lunch or just an ice cream while listening to the singing waiters and waitresses.
Here's Jason Yeager, one of my favorites, who was on American Idol one year. He is a great singer and the customers just love him.
Here are Jason and Kelly Bryant, another wonderful singer. There was someone standing between the two, but I took only one shot and her eyes were closed, so I cropped her out. Jason's holding the CD that the pair had just signed that I bought.
This was the first year I'd heard Jason and Kelly singing a duet and, wow, are they ever good! I. Love. Music. I was very glad that our order took a while in getting to our table as I could just sit and listen for hours. I just know you are wondering what we ordered to eat....
Old-fashioned ice cream sodas! Yum, yum!! Mine, of course, is the chocolate one. I could go for one of those right now.
Hope you had a great weekend and are getting a good start on
Christmas. I'm not quite there, but I've started!
Until next time...
