Yes, Diana, I know your husband and family would really enjoy it there. It's about 10 miles south of Branson. I'm also sure it would be even more beautiful in the summer when the trees had leaves or in the fall with all the color!!!

What a fun time you had. The lodge is beautiful.

You guys sure get around!

This is true Judy. Gary has a chronic illness (heart failure) that will limit his life span. On average, a person lives for 8 years after diagnosis. He was diagnosed 5 years ago. I think he will live longer, but you never know. All of us could die today of course, but when you know your life is limited, I think you do things differently, or at least it helps you to look at things differently. One of the things he wanted to do was travel, so we have tried to do as much of that as possible!
