    Got to the cabin where my parents were staying around 5pm. Made some burgers on the grill and walked to the river with my mom. My dad had a MRI and diagnosed with mild dimensia. That made me sad but it's progress in managing it and keeping it from getting worse. I hope he stops drinking to keep it from getting worse also.
    After dinner we played poker and bet with peanuts. It was alot of fun. Nicole won of course.

    Stopped in for July 3rd service in a beautiful old united Methodist Church build in 1891. They had a combined service with lunch for their traditional and contemporary services. They gave us free bread for our first time and we had a really good meal with BBQ and potluck style sides. We sat at a table with Ryan, Hanna, her son and Anthony. Nice conversation with them and learned some podcasts and Ted talks to listen to.Read more

  • Heber Springs, AR

    July 4, 2016 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 23 °C

    One of the prettiest campsites we've stayed at. Nice site on a bluff above the lake with a short trail down to the lake. I took a swim and it was very refreshing. The lake is a reservoir in a semi-mountainous area with lots of rock ledges at the edge of the water. Spent 4th of July here and grilled hot dogs on the fire for dinner. We had a emotional prayer time and we're learning to trust God.Read more
