Yerington to Heber Springs, Arkansas. We're on the way back home now! Biggest Ball of Twine! LOL.


Love this picture of Ken and Bryan enjoying ArkansasπŸ’™

That is a corn shucker that my daddy got from his old home
place at Fort Douglass Arkansas way back when. He gave it to
Bryan many years ago and we kept it for safe keeping for 
many years and now it's back where it belongs in Arkansas πŸ’™
Definitely was my Grandpa's and probably my great Grandpa's. 
Bryan and Cheryl plus their dogs in their new state!


Found these "pennies from heaven" right outside our truck!
Thinking my parents and Cheryl's dad are happy they are
moving! πŸ’™ Especially since my daddy was from Arkansas. πŸ’™

 We're in Kimball, Nebraska this Thursday night headed home from Arkansas. We left last Thursday and made good time getting to Arkansas. We spent the first night in Williams, AZ. Second night in Tucumcari, NM and the last night in Shawnee, OK. Luckily both vehicles ran awesome and got us into Heber Springs on Sunday afternoon. 


First thing Cheryl did..

Get rid of these ugly curtains LOL. 


She wants to paint and add faux shutters..cute don't ya think?!

Bryan and Cheryl  were heading to the store, Daisy was not
happy! 

Love the green of the trees and yard! 

Bryan's garage and shop..it's awesome! 

A little front porch sittin! 


The house Bryan and Cheryl bought is adorable. Yes, it's a cosmetic fixer, but the layout and everything about it is perfect for them.  The fence Bryan had built, is great for the dogs. 

We had a great few days, but knew this visit would be short as Ken has 3 different doctor appointments next week. We enjoyed the time we had with them and would definitely do it again. We will, once we get the cargo trailer and can pick up some more of their stuff from Lincoln. 

They live in a "dry county" so we took the 24 mile one way drive to the nearest liquor store. LOL.  Everyone is so nice there! Just have to stock up once you're there. Kind of like my trip to total wine, which is 90 miles one way. Better make it worth your while. πŸ˜ƒ

Bryan cooked a tri tip to send with us on our trip. So yummy! 

We left Wednesday morning and spent the night last night in Salina, Kansas. Tonight we're here and hope to be somewhere near Salt Lake tomorrow. Home on Saturday, if all goes as planned.

Just out of Branson, MO. 218 foot cross with tears. Cool 
story behind it. Largest cross in America, 5th largest in the
world. The eight vertical teardrops represent new beginnings and the five horizontal represent grace. When you put them together it represents a graceful
new beginning when we meet Christ. πŸ’–

Downtown Heber Springs 

Cawker City, KS


World's largest ball of twine! The second time we've seen this!


Several years ago we were following a Marine who was 
running across America. We found him near this and gave a 
donation. 



Bryan and Cheryl bought a couch at the consignment store. 
The dogs are loving it! They have 3! 


Bryan's truck we took back. 

I think Raider's loving his new home, he's smiling! 😁
Yes it was a whirlwind trip, but so worth it. The kids are where they want to be to start the new chapter of their lives. Makes us happy! We have a new place to visit whenever we can and it's in a state that I have so much history and love for πŸ’— Life is good!

  3. It's always so green and gorgeous back there. I'm glad they got a fence. That's one thing I noticed when driving through ... no one had fences! I guess their dogs are better trained than mine!

    1. Yes glad they got a fence too. It's only a small portion their 1 1/2 acres but perfect for hanging with the dogs!

  4. What a great place for their new adventure! The grass is so green!!
    Love the pennies from heaven and the cross with tears. It's all relative to our great lives, isn't it?
