Arkansas and family for a few days. Now we're headed back home!

 My last post was from Henryetta, Oklahoma and so is this one, only a few days later! 

A little Americana on their Arkansas garage 💙 You know
I love it and plenty of canvas to add more! 


We pulled into Heber Springs, Arkansas on Sunday about 1400 hours. We had a good drive from Henryetta. After hugs all around, we saw what's been done to the house since we've been gone the last 2 months or so. Happy Hour commenced! 

The guest room with a new bed that's awesome!

Table and chairs for us to have coffee and computers!

Pictures don't do it justice, but her painting of the cabinets
and walls have changed the whole look of her kitchen 💗

Love this cabinet! 

We were greeted with presents, which they shouldn't do!
Love my Arkansas hoodie!

Pennant and key chain. Ken was already wearing his shirt 
and had taken his key chain (with a bottle opener) so no
picture. 


Bryan had made enchiladas and coleslaw for us so we all enjoyed the dinner. Eventually we made it to bed. LOL. 

Monday morning Cheryl made an awesome breakfast of eggs, potatoes and bacon. Oh so yummy! :) 

The unloading of the cargo trailer was after that! we put everything in Bryan's garage and they can figure it out from there! 

There was more, but this is while unloading the trailer


Ken and I ran to Walmart for a few things and then back to enjoy the afternoon! 

Bryan barbecued amazing steak! Oh so good! Baked potatoes too and green beans! Probably gained 5 lbs in these few days! Cheryl had made zucchini bread before we got there so had that with our coffees every morning! YUM!! 

Our oldest son Bryan, barbecuing! 💙

These would have been my daddy's overalls. I'm sure my
mom bought them for Christmas of 1990 when he unexpeditly 
passed away. Bryan has had them, brand new. Over the last
year Bryan has lost 60+ pounds and now they fit! 💙

Looking awesome Bryan!! Brand new overalls, fits Arkansas
just fine 💙


Tuesday morning Cheryl cooked again an awesome breakfast! Ken had leftover steak with his and we had bacon. 

Just enjoyed the morning then I made some breakfast burritos for on the way home. 

In the afternoon Cheryl and I did some supervisor duties while Ken and Bryan got a few things hung on the garage. Before that there was a leak on some piping on their hot water heater. Luckily Ace had what they needed and they got it fixed. 

Bryan barbecued chicken for dinner along with enough to send with us for dinners on the way home! 

This morning we weren't in a hurry to leave, but we knew we had too. About 1015 we headed out. We'll be back for Thanksgiving! 💗

Bryan and Cheryl 💖

Ken and Me! This morning before our good bye's 😪💗

Ken took a little detour through Clarksville, Arkansas. We used to go every summer as kids to spend time with grandparents and cousins! The best times ever. 

The Diamond Drive In was there when we were kids! 
Daddy would take us there often :) Dairy King was across the
street, but it's something else now and doesn't look the same.
Here you go sisters! Wendy and Linda! :)



It's Happy Hour with the hubby! Heading up towards Kansas tomorrow, looking for a different route home!

    1. I love the cabinet, and so much more storage with the other cabinet on top. We had a great time, just too bad it had to be short this time!

  3. The kitchen looks great .. and I never would have thought of putting a shelf on top of the long cabinet. That's such a great idea! You guys are definitely talented in the decoration department. Safe travels back home.

  4. I love how colorful they have decorated. Congratulations to Bryan on the weight loss. Those coveralls are really special.

  5. Yes they are really special. I've got them to hem for him as they were a little long. I laugh because daddy would have just rolled them up, as he and Bryan are about the same height . :)
