Y - Yuck Yucks with Yakov!
Posted On 11/12/2015 20:23:57 by yourchoice

In 2008, our travel buddies contacted us with a suggested destination that we had heard about but had never visited. It didn’t take long for the four of us to be packed and ready to hit the road. We didn’t do a lot of planning, because we didn’t know what would catch our interest along the road. We were retired so there was nothing that dictated when we had to be back home. We stopped to visit friends in Montana, visited the Precious Moments Museum in Carthage, MO, and arrived in Branson, MO, filled with anticipation because of all the things we were told that we would enjoy there. Our daughter made arrangements for us to stay for ten days in a “Time Share” condo, and from there we were on our own to decide what we would like to. There were so many shows that looked interesting and we took our time to decide which ones the four of us could agree on.

We took a river cruise on a paddle-wheel steamer at White River Landing, enjoyed outdoor music at Silver Dollar City, and a phenomenal concert by violinist Shoji Tabuchi in his own personal theater. We loved his music but the most unforgettable experience of that evening was my visit to that Ladies’ Room. Have you ever seen anything like this?

Then we saw a billboard that advertised the Russian comedian, Yakov Smirnoff. We had heard him on TV some years before, and we knew his show was a MUST! We certainly weren’t disappointed. If you haven’t heard his name before, go to Google. There is so much that he has shared online.

My ‘keepsake’ is the photo below… We met him in the lobby after his show, and he was open and friendly, and happy to pose with anyone who would like to take a picture of him.

The painting behind us is the mural that he painted and donated to New York City, and was erected at Ground Zero.
