I love Hawaii and would go back in an instant; it's only 5 1/2 hours from Seattle, which sounds like a long way, but I like to fly.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197599882756386184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-47981528939999519462016-04-17T20:22:51.099-05:002016-04-17T20:22:51.099-05:00NICE work if you can get it.

Then they had to present by law an army Corp of engineers report showing it was in a flood plain. A severe flood plain. I got up at that point. They got ugly. Pete got sick to his stomach and they didn't give us anything! A couple of years go by, and seems the post office sued them on behalf of everybody for mail fraud. We got a couple of hundred bucks out of the deal at a time we really needed it! We don't do that any more. Pete can handle long drives very well, and my time off from work is too precious to waste on it. <br />Revisit the Tender Years with me during the #AtoZChallenge at <a href="http://lifefaithincaneyhead.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Life & Faith in Caneyhead</a>!Barbara In Caneyheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053601327400989802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-6023892057495785682016-04-17T13:39:04.964-05:002016-04-17T13:39:04.964-05:00What an "interesting" experience - - and...What an "interesting" experience - - and I heartily applaud you and Cliff for sticking to your "NO". It's not always easy when the pressure is on.<br /><br />As for Branson, I've been there many times when I lived in Springfield. My parents have also been there, and assorted relatives. All of my experiences in Branson have been very good ones - - except for that annoying bumper to bumper traffic - - and the occasional tornadoes.<br />I actually almost considered living near there.<br /><br />My parent's met several entertainers there. I have photos of them with Boxcar Willie (now deceased, I've heard). As for the Presleys, my father actually bought two vehicles from them (I'm not kidding). They're not related to Elvis (so I've heard) but my Dad used to say "I have cars that were owned by Presley". It sounded impressive.<br /><br />Anyway, your post sparked many MO memories.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619128793632680659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-22978264999890912192016-04-17T08:22:05.054-05:002016-04-17T08:22:05.054-05:00I have always wanted to try out one of "those...I have always wanted to try out one of "those" time share meetings.
