The top row of photos is a promo for my birth state of Arkansas. They have an absolutely beautiful state park system. We stayed last night in the lodge run by the park service at DeGray Lake. Terrific accommodations! A place for you to consider Joe, or any of you for that matter, if you're heading west. The 18 hole golf course looked great and the fishing is reported to be the best. They even serve beer in the restaurant. And the waitress had an answer to "why that pyramid in Memphis?". They're putting in Bass Pro Shop... They also have bald eagles that nest there. John is standing by a life size replica of one of their nests. Suppose if you offered them enough they might even let you spend the night in it.
On to Texas, hands firmly on the wheel as we made it through Dallas/Fort Worth. Tillie would not have been happy. Stopped for lunch at the haunted Weatherford Downtown Cafe (center photo). Notice the ghost in the bottom left hand photo? OK - you're right. That's me. Not all photos come out perfect. Am sure you can pick out the photo of John with Peter Pan (Weatherford is the birthplace of Mary Martin). The bottom center photo is their courthouse.
Heading off to the heart of Texas... Mother had homemade noodles waiting for John and homemade soup for me. And my sister Becky is putting us up in her spare bedroom. The life of luxury for a couple of days until we start our first week of camping. You don't suppose those three beauties in the bottom right hand corner are related, do you?
