Branson November 19th~

We were born to live, my dear, not to merely exist...


 I am already enjoying the colors of fall here in Branson. 
 Everywhere we drive I see beautiful colors on the trees.  I sure 
have missed it, and am very happy to be here. The not so good 
side is that it is going to get very cold the next few days.


We arrived to a beautiful evening.  The temperature was 
perfect.  Not hot not cold.  Yes, we have missed Branson a lot.  


We're staying in a very cute and modern Airbnb in a place 
called Fall Creek.  When we were here in June we also stayed in
 Fall Creek.  Arvid seems to be very happy with these Airbnb's.  


 The mornings so far have been very pleasant. 
 I have my coffee while I watch the ducks.


Yesterday as we drove by a few familiar places I saw a  fruit tree. 
 Happens to be one of my favorite fruit.  Persimmons.  I had Arvid
 stop the car, park, and I got out and shook the tree, and got me about 
seven persimmons.  The tree was on public property.  We also had
some delicious foodies, and again I enjoyed the colors of fall.


Yesterday was not the coldest as it will get, but it
 was a wet day.  We were lucky we missed the heavy rain, 
but at some point we did get a little wet.  Over all it
 was a good day.  It feels so familiar to be back.


Good day to all.  Wish our Sniff was here with us to see
 the birds.  He would have loved it.  We are in a unit that has 
lots of windows and we see the birds flying by all day long,
 but he's happy also at home, and being cared for by Gail.


The most glorious moments in your life are not the 
so-called days of success, but rather those days when out
 of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge 
to life, and the promise of future accomplishments...
