• Snowbirding!

  We've been in Arkansas for two days now, and it's been wonderful weather both days! I can see why older folks snowbird. I talked to my assistant manager back home today and she said it was zero degrees with a wind chill of negative 14. Here, it got up to nearly 70 today and we were walking around outside in our short sleeved shirts. We went to the Janet Huckabee Nature Center in Fort Smith today after church. It's a really nice nature center with all kinds of hands-on activities and several nature walks. We started down one and came to an intersection with paved paths going left and right and a dirt path in front of us. John and my brother David decided to take the dirt path and my mom, her roommate and I took a shorter paved one around the small lake. We beat the guys back to the van by about 15 minutes. They ended up coming to a dead end on the path somewhere and walking through the woods until they came out on the main road somewhere and walked back along the road.

  God blessed us with wonderful weather driving down. We saw clouds in the sky ahead of us but we ran into no snow or rain ourselvses. We will be here until Tuesday and then are heading even farther south to visit two of our kids and two of our grandchildren in Texas. I haven't even seen one of those grandbabies, yet.

  We did get to meet my youngest brother's girlfriend yesterday. She's really nice, and extremely pretty. She's coming over with him tomorrow, and one of my other brothers is supposed to bring his wife over tomorrow as well. Mom is making Bul-go-gi, a wonderful Korean beef dish.
