On the Road Again

Over the last few months, Al and Diane Urbanckas have been "bopping around here and there and enjoying retirement."

Here we see them at Branson, the Silver Dollar City in southwestern Missouri. Known as "family-friendly Las Vegas," Branson has three amusement parks and a host of live theaters, featuring Country music.

In October, Diane headed with three friends to the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis to view glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly. He has pieces on exhibit throughout the world and their value has risen to staggering heights.


On an earlier trip to Madison, WI, Diane took a picture from atop the Museum of Contemporary Art. "It brought back memories, mostly of long ago in Springfield, IL."

Thanks to Diane for the pictures, and please keep bopping around!

Hiya Will,
Glad you could use the pictures but am sorry that they came out a little dark. You can't see that this is the Orpheum theatre, which is what brought back old memories.

Diane,

The pictures look clear on my monitor and the Orpheum sign is readable. Any one else have this problem?

I could read the Orpheum sign just fine.

Judy,

I asked Diane to check the site on a different computer. She found that the Orpheum sign looked fine. Her old Gateway needed a little tuneup. Thanks for writing!
