For those of you who knew my Mother well, you will remember at times she would mention Herkimer and Cecil in Branson, then sit and giggle a little while. She loved Herkimer! I had a chance to take a picture with him and Cecil tonight. Ronda and Karla, I wish ya'll would have been with me!Wendell was talking to Herkimer and I stepped back to take a picture. When I did Herkimer noticed what I was doing, and "posed" with Wendell! After I took the picture Herkimer asked, "Could you tell which one was ME?"
He's one of the funniest comedians I've ever seen. Herkimer has been "making people laugh" for 40 years here in Branson.
Cecil, Herkimer's son, joined him when he was a little boy making it "twice the fun" ! He is hilarious and refers to himself as a "trained idiot"! 
We visited Uptown Cafe today and ate a delicious hamburger!
Uptown Cafe holds special memories for us from when the boys were teenagers. We came to Branson with Bob, Donna, and Kyron Myre. One day we went to this cafe and Donna and Jonathan had a contest to see who could drink their Coke the fastest. After a lot of laughing and fun, Jonathan won! Of course, Donna says he stuffed her straw with paper! It's a wonder she didn't suck it down her throat and choke! LOL!Wendell walked out of the cafe "full and happy" once again! :)
Oh the memories flood my mind tonight. We've had so much fun through the years with friends and family.Many years ago we had a couple "family vacations" here in Branson with Daddy, Mother, Karla, Keith, Ginger, Carmen, Shara, Ryan, Wendell, Me, Jonathan, Andrew, Nathan, Ronda, Nathaniel, and Danelle. We rented a place for all of us to stay on Table Rock Lake and had a blast! I'm so glad we made memories as we were "growing up", and continued to "have fun and make memories" even after we were "grown and married"! Karla was the only one left to get married, so she was like the "big sister cousin" to all the "little cousins". What fun!
