Vacationing In Missouri

Since my sister-in-law, and her family moved my wife has talked to me about possibly taking a trip out to see them.  She doesn’t want to do it right now, but she is thinking of the idea.  Last time we were there we found a place called the The Butterfly Place.  My daughter loved it, as she loves butterflies.  We had looked into a few other area attractions, but couldn’t justify the money.  That was also the same vacation that we found out about Sonic.  Now that Sonic is right here in our area we know it all too well.  Branson vacations aren’t exactly my thought of a vacation, but if it makes the wife happy, then I am open to the thoughts.

Have you ever visited Branson?  If so, then what did you think of it?  I don’t personally like the living out west because of the distance you have to travel to do anything.

Happy Thanksgiving To All

I wanted to take a minute to wish everyone a HappyThanksgiving, and thank you to the soldiers that couldn’t be with their families during this time.  This year I am sorry to say that I could not spend Thanksgiving with my family because of an 18 hour day that I am working on Black Friday.  I haven’t missed Thanksgiving in quite a few years when I went to Disney World for Thanksgiving, but work is important, and sleep is also very important.  Wife is preparing some food, and is going to try to keep it somewhat quiet once I go to sleep.

By the time Thanksgiving will be over I will need a weight loss diet to lose some of the pounds that I am going to gain.

I Joined Family Values Cinema & Like It.

We are a family that loves a good movie.  I just recently joined Family Values Cinema.  Unlike my other club I can rely on Family Values Cinema for “Family” rated movies.  I don’t have time to check the actual “Family” ratings on movies, and that is why I joined this “Club.”

Here is what you get each month for $9.95 + S/H…

1. 1 Family movie that has been approved by the National Board of Mothers
2. 1 Recipe card for making a Family snack
3. 1 Family Discussion card that discusses more than just the movie.  It helps build conversation in the family
4. 1 activity for the whole family

This is what I have come to find out in reading, and speaking with the club President, Patty.

• There is a group of @ 50 moms known as the National Board of Moms that view movies, and then personally rate them.
• Family Values Cinema works with the Parents Television Council.
• Family Values Cinema also works with The Dove Foundation.
• The club has a FREE trial month available to show you what it can offer.  Just cover S/H.
• The program comes with a “Book” to hold the movies that you receive.
• The movies you receive are yours to keep.  No Rentals, No Returns.
• If the movie doesn’t make the highest grade, then it is removed from the queue.
