Frustrating day. Had an appointment to get the tires balanced and when I got there he was unable to do it. He tried, but he broke his socket while trying to remove the lug nuts. His air gun wasn't strong enough and when he used a lever on a socket, he broke it too. Since he only had one left he stopped. So, we are here until at least Thursday. I have another appointment then whith a different company.
We drove around and just enjoyed the mountainous terrain. No hill was an obstacle when it came to development. They just cut through it, leveled it off and built a building on it. Weather was overcast, cool and windy. DUH! We are in the mountains and wind is expected. A fellow told Nita that there is usually a couple days every couple years when the wind doesn't blow. LOL
Tonight we took in the "Dublin Irish Tenors and Celtic Ladies". I was a bit disappointed since I was expecting it to be more like "Celtic Women" that I have seen on TV and live a few times. I just loved those shows. Anyway, they were good. The girls sang American, Italian, pop, and Opera. The men sang much of the same plus some traditional Irish songs. The last two closing songs were ones I have known since the eighth grade choir. They were "You'll Never Walk Alone" and " I Believe". Both beautiful songs and their rendition was just perfect.
Again, there was an honoring of we veterans. This time with music and each of us stood when our branch of service was recognized. I'm amazed. All venues do the same thing even though in a different way. I can see why everyone talks about how great this place is, they love and appreciate home, family, God and country.
They say that Branson has out grown itself and tourism has dropped off. maybe it's because of the economy. It certainly isn't for lack of talent. And, these entertainers live and raise their families here.
