Our Tale of Woe

This morning ....Table Rock Lake. It rained incessantly ...we were unable to get out of the car and hike one of the nature trails around the lake as we had planned.
Our lunch at Olive Garden was very good and provided a welcome reprieve from the damp and cold weather. The joys of italian food...

Enjoying our lunch

before heading out again into the inclement weather.

Braving the weather

we managed to get in some shopping at the Landing ....

Random impressions of the Landing

Not very many people out and about...

Going to Branson

We are almost in Branson when these pictures were taken. (A little blurry, sometimes it's a little difficult to drive and snap pictures simultaneously)...
Today we plan to check out Table Rock Lakehttp://www.tablerockfun.com/ and the Landing in Branson. Hopefully it won't rain.

Gestern ..unterwegs nach Branson in den Ozarks. Leider sind die Bilder nicht besonders. (Fahren und fotografieren ist manchmal schwierig). Wir hatten Sonnenschein und wunderschoene Landschaften auf der 4 Stunden langen Fahrt.

Trying to pack

tonight for our trip to Branson. We are leaving immediately after work tomorrow.
Koffer packen fuer unseren Wochenendausflug nach Branson. Wir wollen gleich nach der Arbeit los.

The neighbourhood

As I was getting out of my car today, I just had to photograph these vibrant red trees in the neighbor's yard.

Ich musste vorhin einfach die leuchtend roten Baueme der Nachbarin fotografieren. ( Briefkasten links ist der Meine)
