It's Thurs. night.
We are in Little Rock, Arkansas at a KOA Campground. We arrived last night and my Sister Terri, Ben and Abi came down from their home in Springfield, MO. Our cousin, Doreen, took us to a fun Mexican restaurant and we had a great time catching up. We, finally, got to meet Don, Doreen's new husband, who had JUST had a liver transplant. Don's folks are visiting from Colorado and we all had a nice time together. Terri, Ben and Abi slept with us in the fifth wheel and that was fun too. They had to go home around noon today but it was nice to have the short time together. It took Terri 5 hrs. to drive to us...so we appreciated that effort and felt quite special. Today we had lunch at Doreen's (wonderful bbq) and then went to the Peabody Hotel in downtown Little Rock to see the ducks being taken from the lobby's 'pond' on the red carpet to their penthouse suite that cost $90,000! There must've been 30-40 people in the 'audience' watching. Because Doreen told us that we could go to the 'penthouse suite' afterwards, we asked about it. There were only 4 of us who got to see it. I will post the pictures when I get them. THEN you can see what $90,000 buys 10 ducks.
We head out in the a.m. for Memphis, TN. Yes...I admit it...we are going to try to locate Elvis at Graceland...we JUST KNOW he is still alive. We think we will be in Nashville tomorrow night.
A BIG THANK YOU to Doreen, Don, Don's folks, Terri, Ben and Abi for the great time we had in Arkansas. We will always have a nice memory of AR.
Til the next WIFI,
Mary

Honey, Arkansas is AR...Alaska is AK!! haha Too much travelin' for you!! haha We had a GREAT time down there, but now Abi and I are bummed that you saw the ducks!! We didn't remember it was in Little Rock!! We have seen the duck "parade" on tv, but never in person! We got back in time for Ben's Court of Honor and he is now a Boy Scout Tenderfoot! YEA! It was great to see you all and meet Don and see Doreen and meet her in-laws. Good luck finding Elvis and let us hear from you soon! Love you!! Terri p.s. Get an autograph from Elvis to send to Tina! haha
ReplyDeleteHey Terri,
ReplyDeleteBig Sisters ALWAYS know best!!! Thanks for the correct info. and thanks to quick editing, I was able to change it before the 'others' noticed....ha. The duck parade was cute but you didn't 'miss' much! Now for the Grand Ole Opry tonight....that is a different story.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! We are thinking of you and want to know all you did. We are leaving Nashville tomorrow and hope to be in VA tomorrow night.
Love you.
Love you.
