"May God bless those in Colorado
suffering from the rain and floods."
We haven't been home much lately. We have been going back and forth to Little Rock, Arkansas from our home in the southwest corner of Missouri.
We have not had any rain for more than 3 weeks so our yard is bone dry and full of cracks. We have been watering our yard with the lawn sprinkler, dragging that heavy waterhose from tree to tree, sometimes watering all night long. The dust and pollen has everyone's allergies flared up. Our eyes are red, our noses are red, and we have a bathroom counter full of sinus miracle drugs and boxes of kleenex - with lotion, a true miracle product for those of us with allergies.
We
often drive to Fayetteville, Arkansas for the day. We love the
drive, the shopping, the people. I find the citizens of that
great state, to be very friendly and funny too!
We
travel through Bella Vista, and enjoy the Veterans
Monument Park. It is a great place to walk and read about the history
of our freedom. It is also a great place to strike up a conversation
with a passerby. This monument is located in the heart of the Bella
Vista Community and sits beside a lake with a pedestrian bridge over
a beautiful running stream.
Here
is the link to their website:
“Our
military history is revealed through a 36’ Timeline and a series of
plaques each giving a brief description of the major military events
in this period. Over 120 running feet of beautiful cast bronze
is used in this historical/educational presentation. Two walls
containing the Preamble to our Constitution, seals of each Armed
Forces branch and historical quotes along with 18 historical
flags add to the educational display.”
If
you ever find yourself traveling through the Northwest part of
Arkansas, please make time to stop and see this, enjoy a nice walk,
and meet some very nice people.
I
just had to share this one...
I
have seen many Hog fans along this route.
But this one gets the
spirit
award!
It
made me proud to be a friend to the Razorback state!
Thank you for following me new friend! Where can I follow you at?
