August 10: Columbia, MO: Ron and Donna

This is a view from the door of our RV.

We are parked right behind our host's RV.

Our hosts:  Ron and Donna.  This photo was taken at Bandana's, a yummy place for barbeque.

This is a home in their neighborhood.  We liked the creative flower gardens.

But even better was the barbed wire fence covered with stuff!

June 2 - Water Lilies

We stopped on the way home to take photos of this pond full of blooming water lilies located next to a cemetery!  I don't think I've ever seen so many all blooming at one time like this.

May 31 - Family and Friends

We kidnapped Jen and Ken from the TAT and made them go to dinner with our friends who came to visit.  Starting front left and going around the table: Ken, Jen, Donna, Ashley, Ron, Bill, Susan and Galen.  We returned Ken and Jen to the bike trail the next day.

  

After dinner we went back to the campground and some of the gang tried out the trikes.   Ron and Donna, full time RVer friends, were on their way to work at Dollywood and taking their granddaughter, Ashley along with them so couldn't stay long.  Bill and Susan live in Columbia, MO but we first met in Mountain View, Arkansas.  I didn't get any photos, but we had a lovely time playing music together. They are both excellent dulcimer players and play my kind of music - pretty, picked duets with lovely harmonies.  We'll see them in Mountain View in September and Ron and Donna, too.  They have succumbed to the charm of the music and people of Mountain View just like we have.

May 30 - Willow Springs UMC

We attended church and Sunday school here today on what would have been our granddaughter's 21st birthday.  We met a whole bunch of really nice people who made us feel very at home.  We thank them for sharing their sharing their time, stories, and prayers with us.
