This is a picture of the painting in the front of the Precious Moments Chapel where we stopped on our way from Branson to Kansas City. We have been there several times and can't get enough of just admiring the paintings in the chapel. I need to be more informed as to the history of the area. I have known but facts escape me at the moment.

This is a group picture of the last group we took to Branson. The picture was taken in front of the "Precious Moments Facility" They love the paintings done on the walls of the chapel. I think this trip was 2007.

For a number of years we have taken a bus load of Senior Citizens back to Branson MO to watch some shows. We usually do this the day after Thanksgiving. This picture was taken at an outdoor theatre called, Silver City. We have been very fortunate to enjoy good weather on every trip. We have done this four different years. We have arranged buses, flights, hotels and shows. We may not do it any more because of age.

This is show that we were on a cruise where we visited different Greek Islands in 2008. Our favorites, of course, was Athens and Olympia.

On most cruise ships there is a place to play different games. This ship had an enclosed place for table tennis. It was difficult to beat young chinese players but I could hold my own with most of the senior citizens.

In April of 2008, we spent twenty-one days on transatlantic cruise on a ship called the Royal Princess. This is a picture of on of the formal nights where they requested that we dress up for dinner. During that cruise we visited the Azore Islands, Irland, Portugal, two ports in England, Holand, France, the Keil Canal, Finland, St Petersburg, Russia, Estonia and Switzerland. The trip was very educational. We left from Utah and returned to Utah. The weather was very good in all of the countries until we returned to Utah. Up returning, we both caught colds.

When we took our transatlantic cruise last spring (2008), we went in the ship at the left. It holds 700 passengers while the one on the right holds about 2,500. We were able to go into smaller ports and cruise the Keil Canal from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea because of the smaller ship. We got acquainted with many more passengers than we could have done on a larger ship. The cruise was twenty-one days in length and took us to twelve different ports. It was very educational to visit all of those places.
