We left at 8 a.m. When we were on Highway 23 in Arkansas close to Missouri, we were on some very steep and curvy roads that were pretty thrilling! Lots of low clouds on the mountain tops and some pretty colors. The road runs through the Ozark Forest and is nicknamed Pig Trail Scenic Byway because of its steep hills and hairpin turns. We got into some heavy fog. I started praying! Thankfully it only lasted a couple of miles!!! Thanked Jesus immediately! Stopped at Granny’s Restaurant for lunch. It was in the middle of nowhere but had great food. We stopped in Branson, Missouri and walked through some shops. It was in the low 40’s so we had to put our jackets on. Didn’t see many people, but those we saw were wearing their face masks outside. We walked through a couple small shops and ended up getting some good deals at a really nice Christian Store. Where we were the shops were on a big hill. We walked down one side and up the other. It was steep so we got some steps plus exercise. Kimmy called (yay) and we talked to her for a while when we saw signs along the highway advertising the world’s largest candy store and largest gift shop 9 miles ahead. We told her we had 9 miles to talk ha ha. We stopped and the gift shop was huge and fun to walk through. The candy store was pretty amazing too. We only bought at the candy store so are coming home much sweeter. I drove the next few hours. We stayed at the Baymont in Sullivan Missouri. We watched CMA’s nightly service on live stream. Got a great surprise after that! Got to face time all together with Vikki, Rody, Peyton, Isaac, Kimmy, Jared, Jacob, Adam, and Eli!This sure made us happy How fun to see everyone and talk together! Rody put some pretty cute animal faces on him lol. Melissa didn’t answer to get on with us, but Vikki and I did a three way call with her afterward! Rody said we can have up to 32 people face timing together!
