Some Trips Are Not Fun

Wednesday here at the rally was more of the same fun that we had the two days previous. We gathered around 9:00 under the big tent and visited with all the new folks coming in. There are so many people to meet and talk to that it would take more than this week we have to accomplish it. But it was fun seeing all the Dreamers come into the tent and when we started the registration we really got excited. Name tags started going on and different ones recognized who was who the hand shakes and the hugs were passed out frequently.

Sherri and I still were selling the raffle tickets and this gave us the opportunity to shake hands with all the new folks coming in...and hit them up to buy a ticket...LOL. Hey it is a good cause. So far we have done quite well with the sale and I believe that the Web Site and a lucky individual will reap a good sum of cash.

We spent the rest of the day getting to know folks and placing them in our memory banks. Soon Dee and Jim Walter arrived and the hugs started all over again. Dee and I go back to the beginning of the chat room. We have conversed for close to a year now and finally got to meet face to face. Jim stays pretty much in the background on the chat room but I knew him through Dee's journal and felt like I knew him for every.

So around 6:00 PM we had the Pizza and Ice Cream get together and it was fun. Everyone walked over to the pavilion and sat down to some good eats and socializing. We had a short message from Howard and Linda and then Linda entertained us with some dancing joined by Howard and RV Dude. Now that was a site to behold!!

After the eats all the chatters got together for the live chat in the big tent. That was fun we were joined by Donna_162 Dee_NC Jenny J Retired Sailor Jim01 Speedsgirl Beck Conroe Penny Ellie Celtic Pride and this list goes on. And again it was sooo cool that we were all there chatting right across from each other. This will make chatting in the future more meaningful than ever before.

While chatting I was informed that Beck had gone home and when she got there her and Rodney tripped and fell on the patio by their trailer. Beck was in pain and said that her leg was broken! We were all a little skeptical but 911 was called and the emergency vehicles were sent to the scene. The EMTS put Beck on the board and she was put in the ambulance and away to the emergency room. Bob_Guy and RV Dude were there for support....thanks guys...and Mark and Dortha drove to the hospital with us to do whatever they could to help...Thanks to you both.

We were there for about 2 hours and found out that Beck's leg is broken. She has decided to have surgery here in Branson. There really is no other way to do it. Her leg is shattered right below her left knee and it will have to be repaired surgically. What a vacation....and thus the Title to this entry...Some Trips Are Not Fun.

Sherri and I did not get back until 3:00, for me and 4:00 for her. We will miss the first seminar here at the rally due to a late start off the blocks this AM. Well maybe next year we can host a class on being prepared for the worst?

Guess I better get this closed out and try to make the next seminar Somewhere in Time.
