Thursday 7/9 we stopped at "the Squatch" for breakfast. I had a sandwich called the Hog Wild - a toasted croissant with ham, bacon, cheddar, bacon aioli and bacon jam. We also missed stopping at the "Haunted Grounds Coffee". On the list for…
We had to drive around the University of Arkansas campus because the Spouse is alumni. He reminded me a lot of my dad, since he'd point out places, saying he climbed the antenna on the top of this building, or this happened in that building…
My Mother In Law lives in Arkansas, the Spouse & I live in Michigan. He drives down to visit her (almost exactly 1000 miles) several times a year. The plan this year (here's the post from my other blog about the non-trip from January) was t…
