Branson Fun Pictures for today

This is the first part of our Branson trip. Our friends, Lynden and Starley, took us to Table Rock Lake and the area around there. We enjoyed looking around the area next to the river boat. It was a beautiful day.


This is Terry with Starley near the river boat.

Terry took this picture of Starley and me.

See the river boat?
 

 
Terry and Lynden, they have been friends since babyhood. Really!

 
Terry took this picture of me and it was like pulling teeth. The grounds keeper was snickering in the background about all the questions Terry asked about the camera and my clipped answers while I was trying to look pleasant.

 
This is the fish hatchery just below Table Rock Dam.

 
Our next stop was the School of the Ozarks and their farm implement museum.




 
Interesting stuff and some of it will probably be in one of the next books.




 
This window was on the old mill. The glass was wavey and old. It was beautiful.

 
This is a scale model of the old mill.



 
See the cream colored antique crock. It was massive. Another container is behind Terry and  is a hollowed out log. That must have been a huge tree.

 
Upstairs, there was a room full of these looms. In the School of the Ozarks they teach them how to weave.

 
This beautiful bench is made of hickory. (I think that is what its said.) I sat in it to see if it was pokey and uncomfortable. It really was comfortable. I liked it.

 
This s one view of the massive fireplace. Terry and I stood for the pose.
This was a hotel lobby at the School of the Ozarks. It is where they train students in hotel management. It is a working hotel. The School of the Ozarks and the museum and fish hatchery is free to tourists.

 
This is another view...oops, I should have turned it 90 degrees. That is a big tree isn't it?

 
Lynden and Starley.



They had a wing dedicated to the Veterans of each war. The picture below is a large map on a big table of Vietnam.



We stopped to watch a guy change a light bulb. I don't know if you can see his forklift type contraption.
 
This is the porch of the hotel at the School of the Ozarks. Next time I will post the rest of the Branson pictures.
