First Day of School & Arkansas, sighhhhhhh



As my daughter enters high school and my son the first grade, I cried and cried.  Not for joy but "Omigosh, they're growing up and I'm getting old!"  This summer of moving, a big ol change and life changes have gotten me overwhelmed but frazzled.  I need to breathe!!!

I went on a small road trip to Arkansas for a good friend's wedding.  Hmmmm what can I say about Arkansas??


  1. Too damn long of a drive through the state
  2. Trees over trees made me puke, I see that here in the Iron Pine Curtain..lol
  3. The weird and strange wildlife that was encountered during my drive.
Why does this place have to be a state? Sorry.. anyone from Arkansas reading, I'm not loving your state.  I give you beautiful scenery & hills but to be honest, you guys suck at driving.  Your animals are strange to see at night, very scary to see a chicken cross a road at 4am in Boles, AR.  A freakin chicken?? I'm use to chickens in the yard, maybe walk beside the road but they do not cross it because they do know something big that goes "VRROOM" will end its chicken life.  


Narrow ass streets!

As my ears popped, agitation and lack of sleep we made it to Eureka Springs.  Nice place, very hilly and look like one of those small town that have cool stuff.  I like the hippy vibe but will I trek there again? No. Because Arkansas is not my favorite state to travel through.  The wedding was nice, food (good), cake (yummy) and headed back to the room for rest and a long funky drive back to Texas.  I literally cried when I seen the state line.  That's a first for me.  Anywhere I go either driving or plane, not ready to come back home.  But going through Arkansas couldn't wait....  That's pretty bad for me I couldn't wait to get back home? What?? That's not me!! LOL...

I have more stories and playing catch up with  you guys..

Blessings & Love
