Leaving Arkansas

Yesterday was a fun day visiting with my brother and sister-in-law in Arkansas. In the morning we found this moth in their patio. Marty had been telling me about this unusual moth and then we found this one. Love the color. At the top it looks like tan/rusty leaves.

We had a late breaskfast, then went out on the lake (it's huge) in their friend's boat. It was a great day and the water and sky were beautiful. The lakes here are so big that you probably couldn't see the whole thing in a day.

Later we had dinner on their balcony patio while listening to the birds surrounded by the country quiet.

Isn't it beautiful? Sorry, I forgot what it's called.

This is Bear, Papa Joe's dog. He likes the lake.

This guy was on the edge of the lake.

I love this ledge with the stairs from the house to the lake.

Well, it would be to the lake if the lake was at it's normal level.

Here's where we had dinner - very peaceful.

This is the view toward the lake, but there are too many trees to see it.

They said that in the winter the leaves are gone and you can see it.

We tried to walk out to get a look at it, but this is as far as we got.

It's ok, we already saw it from the boat.

We left this morning and are staying the night just west of Memphis. Tomorrow we head to Nashville for a few days.

Oh, and I found a great place to look for 'cowgirl' boots, they had lots and lots but they didn't have what I wanted. Maybe Nashville will.

Penny:  If you're reading this - Happy Birthday!!

Also check out facebook cuz there are more birthday wishes there for you. (Some even a day early.)

Thanks for such a fun time!
