Razorbacks defeat Ole Miss!!

We got to attend our first Razorback game of the season and experience our first win over former coach Houston Nutt since he left three years ago. The game was delayed twice for a total of and hour and a half due to lightning - but in spite of the long game, it was quite an entertaining and satisfying victory. Ben got to come for the game and we resumed our tailgating with our long-time college friends Kent and Angie Doss and their sons Nick and Brian. Football in the Ozarks in the fall,enjoyed with family and friends is hard to beat. Got to visit with my Dad and his two brothers, Ferrill and Melvin, at half-time; Dad is able to attend the games since he has his motorized wheelchair and he has a big time - probably is an education to him with his vantage point overlooking the student section - probably good that our student days are long past. Nick, Angie, Brian, and Kent Doss; Kent and Angie have been our friends for decades!

Roaring River State Park

Took a day-trip up to Roaring River State Park in Missouri to visit Charlcie's sister Tami and husband Kevin and their friends Kurt and Jerry who were camped there for a nice autumn week-end. The fall colors are already appearing there, a little ahead of our part of Arkansas. Tami, Charlcie, Kurt, and Jerry - Kevin is MIA (had to work on Friday)

Back with the Tabors

As we complete the circle, we stopped in Ft. Smith for a few days to see my Dad and the rest of the Tabors. Most were able to come over to Dad’s on Sunday evening to feast on Dad’s very tasty homemade pizzas. It was great to see them all after being gone for such a long time – lots of hugs, tall tales, and laughter. There’s nothing like the love of a great family! Was so caught up on the visiting that I didn't get pictures - will take pics on our next visit to be posted later

Visit with Ben and Myka

We were anxious to see Ben and Myka, so we drove down to Little Rock to spend a few days with them. Ben had to work on Friday, so I got to hang out with Myka and Charlcie on a short shopping trip. That evening, we had dinner at ZaZa’s, a cool new salad/pizza/gelato eatery in Little Rock. Saturday morning we were up early to participate with 45,000 other folks in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in downtown Little Rock – Charlcie and Myka walked while Ben and I were part of the “3-miles of men” on the sidelines cheering them on. We then joined some of Ben and Myka’s friends at Myka’s parents to watch the Razorback football team lose to Auburn. But not all was lost as Rick and Janice treated us all to some very tasty grilled burgers and all the fixins. Bad outcome to the ball game, but we sure enjoyed getting to visit with everyone again. We always value the time we get to spend with our “kids”, so we were glad we got to work in a few days with them as we wind down our journey.
