New Turf at Razorback Stadium

Road the bike over to Fayetteville last weekend and went by Razorback stadium to check out the new "field turf"....looks like grass to me!!

Mini Road Trip

Ok, so for about....jeez....8 weeks I guess... Caleb has been talking about an Ostrich Egg that we saw at the Promised Land Zoo. Well, he has been saving up his money and we made a road trip over to get the "prized" possession.















The "Welcome Party" at the entrance to the PL Zoo....

Happy 4th of July!!

Wishing everyone a happy 4th of July!!! Be safe!

We went to Branson on Friday for the fireworks at the Landing. It was packed!! I have never seen that many people there. Went ending up going to the Candlestick Inn. It is a restaurant on the bluff overlooking Lake Taneycomo and the Branson Landing. We met with Nichole and Brandon for dinner and then watched the fireworks after dinner from outside the restaurant. It was nice to watch them at that location overlooking the Landing and all of the schmos down there packed in like sardines.

Headed to the fireworks stand today and then watching the Harrison show tonight.

Father's Day Bike Ride

Went on a ride this evening down Hwy 7 to Jasper and then over to Ponca and then back Hwy 43 into Harrison. i stopped a couple of places and snapped some pictures. I also saw a couple of baby elk just outside of Ponca, but I wasn't in a position to stop and get any pics. It was a nice ending to a relaxing day.

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all of the dad's out there today.....

I spent most of the early afternoon doing yardwork which gave me some time to remember all of the great things about my dad. This is the first Father's Day without him, and I think about and miss him each day. I try to do things in my life that I think would make him proud or laugh. I believe he was an excellent role model for me and I feel blessed to have him as a dad...

Blues Fest

Heather and I went over to Eureka Springs for a few hours last weekend for Blues Fest. Caleb was spending the time with Britney so we thought we would take a ride on the bike. BJ and Sara were over there too so we met up with them, had lunch, walked around for a bit and then headed back to H-town.

Cabana Banana???

Growing up in the early 80s we had a boat. There are only a few things I remember about this boat..

1) It was yellow
2) It was yellow
3) We called it the "Cabana Banana" (because it was yellow, did I mention?)
4) Boats sink without the plug

I don't remember how long we had the boat or even the time frame that we had it. I guess it was the early 80's, because I do remember having to listen to "Ebony and Ivory" ALL THE TIME on the way to the lake.

I haven't thought much about the Cabana Banana in a while, at least not since I gave up my version of the Cabana Banana, but there is a boat in town that is for sale and when I drove past it I had to snap a picture. I'm sure Mom and Kelly will tell me how similar/different this "sighting" of the Cabana Banana is from the original....
