Branson,,,

Anyone who knows me, knows that Fall is my favorite season.. and the trees were just starting to turn...On Sat the whole reunion met for a bar-b-q at the state park at the lake...it started to rain during storys around the campfire, so we headed back to the hotel... we just got settled in our room when the hotel fire alram goes off... so we gather our important things and walk down 4 flights of stairs to the lobby and go outside and watch the firetrucks come roaring up...false alarm!
We had about 3 hours free on Sat. so we drove to old downtown Branson.
That is where I found the Dicks 5 & 10 store...man oh man was it neat. Went thru a couple of other shops while walking back to the car. Wes had a planning meeting at 1:00 and then it was pictures at 4:00 and the banquet started at 5:30...Very fast and busy 3 days. We headed home down the Ark /OK border to Texercana...had severe storm & tornado warning all the way home but they seemed to go right around us.
We did pull over just outside of Corsicana because of the heaavy hail, the size of marbles and heavy rain. That was just about the same time the tornado hit Rice about 15 miles from us...
