branson, Missouri? do I want to go there? I never thought I did, but my partner bob's (aka the bobster) brother & sister-in-law go every year & have a ball. sooooo, I was promised that if I go we can take the back roads & hit all the thrift shops, flea markets, yard sales we see. yea, right! bobster's idea of "every thrift shop, yard sale,etc." you see is more like 2. it' always the same excuse "oh, I didn't see it. you have to tell me way ahead so I have time to turn in." so now it becomes my fault we only stop at 2 instead of "everyone we see." in the meantime, I have sunk down in my seat sulking as we pass yet another thrift store, knowing that the one treasure I have been searching for my whole life is in that building. the piece of a lifetime that will get me on antiques roadshow. I will be would have been standing right there when they told me my item was worth so much money they couldn't even begin to put a price on it. but no! I had to leave it behind & hope we stop at the next thrift shop, yard sale or flea market.
anyway, we're off to branson. I will be blogging from the road & adding pictures along the way. if, by some chance I do find that treasure of a lifetime you will be the first to know. and as for branson, everyone I mention the trip to says "you will have a blast, we went & it was so much fun". so, I am looking forward to this trip.
two things I don't want to forget to take
a trusty camera
a journal so I can remember where I was when I found that fabulous treasure
next stop alabama & parts in between...
I'll write soon!
