1 - you wake up to the traffic reporter on the radio saying "cars are stacked up on the freeway like a cord of firewood".
2 - your husband goes for his three mile run in the morning and comes home with a 8" turtle in his hands.
3 - your daughter swimming in the local country/golf club pool shouts "Mom, there's a tarantula in the pool! ....and there really is! [I have pictures]
We made it to Little Rock, and we're so glad to be here! Yesterday was all about getting here to see Taya, Ross and Isaiah. We made the seven hour drive from Texas with as few stops as possible, and were rewarded at 5 pm by driving up to see Taya and Isaiah waiting outside to welcome us! Oh this is so very wonderful. We miss them so much and could not wait to get here. How good it is to be together! Their home is a refreshing oasis for us in so many ways.
Taryn has finally met her pen pal Madeline. They are having a sleep-over tonite in Taya's spare room. We "grilled" this evening on the patio. In Arkansas you never say you're going to bbq - that means something completely different.
Tomorrow we are making a day trip to Memphis together - a two hour drive from here - and there we will have bbq!

You mean, "grilled", right?
no...I meant bbq. If you cook with propane it's grilling, if you cook with wood/smoke it's bbq. Memphis is known for their bbq and we have the best of the best already programed in our GPS. We're gonna find it! Taya says that the stronger the smell of smoke on your clothes is when you leave a bbq place, the better the bbq is said to be.

Hi Gary and Cindy,
Sounds like your having a great time. I finally was able to sit down after a long week and read the blog and about the bbow. Audrey and I went for a Scooter ride last night, picked up some goodies and a flower and headed to mom's for her 71st birthday. It was fun to be out and be together. Have fun on the trip. I miss the pictures you started to post early on your trip. They help explain what your are seeing.
Love, Ron and Audrey
