Arkansas Monday March 8th

We arrive in Arkansas to visit my Mom. She was having lunch and we joined her. and spent the day with her. Then off to the farm to see sister Mary and her husband Eddy. Eddy suggest we fund raise at the fraternity he is chef at on Tuesday. It’s all set and we meet him at 12 in Fayetteville . The car is greeted with collegiate smiles and cell phones. While the car poses for pictures, we enjoy lasagna in the chef's kitchen. Yummy!

The fraternity's house mother, who is also a photographer, introduces herself and suggests we drive the car to a nearby cemetery for a photo shoot. Sounds like a lot of fun! We finish our gourmet meal and provide compliments to the chef and his assistant, Sally, and then drive off to the Creepy location. We leave her our card with hopes she'll share the results with us. (She still shoots with film.) Can’t wait to see the pics.

Another quick visit with Mom and then we meet up with the gang for a viewing of Alice in Wonderland. I liked it! Oliver not so much.

Wednesday finds us packing our bags, bidding good bye to family and barn. Everyone should be so lucky to have a red barn to call their own. To home we go. This has been a long stretch of time traveling!
