I like the idea

Of one huge house, or maybe and area of cottages - remember Canaan Lake (only nicer), where we can have a "compound" and pretend to be the Kennedy's. I only imagine my girls will be there. I don't know how to reach Johnny. He checks in once in awhile, and Michael is, shall we say, just Michael. always broke! That said, I know they are saving up. John and I will plan to be there as well, but to us, the more "rustic" the better. Not into fancy tourist traps...in any event, I like the idea of something where we can share costs, and cook in - or cook out. But, I have no idea about Branson at all, so , before I can even think about a concrete decision, I have to have some idea of price ranges, etc. We are not the golf/shopper type (no kidding, huh?) But are more into nature walks, mountains, streams, lakes, forests, etc. So for us, the less concrete and asphalt the better. Gotta run. Pretending to eork is darn hard work. Hey, Eileen - did the CU get caught up in the new laws?

Hey Lyn, Just Google Branson Mo. and Tablerock Lake. You'll find a ton of information. There is so much outdoor stuff to do you never have to set foot in Branson proper. Like I said earlier, hiking, horseback riding, boating, canoeing, shooting, fishing and much more. The one "family day" activity that I think we can all enjoy is Silver Dollar City. It is very rustic. There is a natural underground cave, lots of artisans that practice lost arts and crafts that I think both you and John would really enjoy. There are also rides and the touristy stuff, but it's not obnoxious like other theme parks can be. Your grandkids will love it! One of the things I've always enjoyed the most when we stayed at Steve's folks house was sitting outside in the morning, drinking a cup of coffee and watching the ground squirrels and humming birds. It's so peaceful.

I hope we can get some ideas so we can start to figue out the cost.
