Rest in Marietta with Laurie and John

A couple days of rest and relaxation with Heather's sister and her husband. And as a special bonus our nephew Matthew as therealso.

Oh ... and we had had a discussion before arriving that we needed to do laundry before we arrived, because Gordon has a big reputation for monopolizing the washer and dryer from dawn to dusk. Heather appears to get off scott free, even though half the laundry is hers. But we REALLY didn't want Laurie and John to think we were just dropping in to use the facilities. We had time to do laundry in Eureka Springs, but it was SO DANGED WET AND HUMID we were afraid nothing would dry. We might have tried in Tupelo, but it was the tiniest danged laundry room we ever saw. So we resolved to buck it up and just go naked if we had to, but we were NOT going to do laundry at Laurie and John's.

Fortunately for us, we apparently underestimated the entertainment value of our monopolizing the laundry facilities while visiting. Once we understood, we dived in, narrowly avoiding the bare-all strategy. A good time and many guffaws was had by all.Read more
