July was a busy month for Prairie Pearl. Even though working only part time, most of the month was too hot to get out much on days off. Jojo and I stuck it out in the AC with only some evening rides into Branson for treats. (Jojo does love the pup cups at Culvers!)
Towards the end of the month, friends from Lawrence came to visit, and while Jojo stayed home in the AC, the rest of us did manage to wander out shopping, eating, and enjoying the day at Top of the Rock.
Top of the Rock is a rather fun outing if you are in the Branson area. Top of the Rock is a pro golf course, and what we were there for, a nature trail that you enjoy riding through in a golf cart. Waterfalls, and Caves, there are many stunning sights of nature. While we also like to go to Dogwood Canyon (another nature area built by the Bass Pro company). This year, DWC is closed due to extreme flooding by spring rain. They had to start from the bottom up rebuilding and will hopefully be reopen this fall.
Cruseing into Branson one evening for a ice cream fix, we stopped by to watch the lights changing on the Branson Ferris Wheel. Such a beautiful sight. Even Jojo was fascinated as we leaned against the car and took in the sights and sounds of the strip at night.
So what is in store for Prarie Pearl and Jojo? Well, for those of you following on Facebook, you know now that Jojo's K9 Kitchen has been stalled permanently by the Missouri Department of Agriculture who regulates the production and sale of pet food and treats. While people food can be made and sold under cottage business laws... animal food has more regulation and licenses. Go figure. So, we have been planning some trips and excursions. Hannibal, War Eagle Mill Craft show, Mansfield, and Mountain Home, Arkansas are all on the scope. Stay tuned!
