The end of summer

Ah! the weather is great.  I went out and walked around in the Wilderness and could not believe my eyes.  The weather was perfect--it was cool but yet warm. The wind was blowing just a little not to much to miss up a photo but just enough for things to catch your eye.  This has been the strangest summer I've had in awhile so it seems.

 This past weekend we left here on Friday going to Harrison for the Hot Air Balloon race but due to "lighting" in the area the race was cancelled.  We walked around town and looked at some of the old buildings,  Also the square was full of folks sitting up for a craft show and there was a show of corvettes.  There were two 1967 corvettes (owned by a husband & wife team) There were some beautiful cars, of all colors and proud owners.

We stayed at the Hotel Seville.  This was our 2nd time to stay here and it was just as delightful as our first. Like I said we had gotten off to see the Balloon Race by 6:30 and that had to be cancelled so we were back at the hotel for breakfast by 7:30.  It was a mighty good breakfast fit for a King (Queen) too.  Lots of hot coffee.  By noon we had headed out to Fayetteville to see the Razorback ball game.  They won 73 to 7.  We met my daughter and her husband there.  Its always fun when family's involved.  We had a great time.  We went to church in Fayetteville and then met with my nephew and his wife afterwards before heading home. 

After this week I plan to be out in the Wilderness a lot.  We no longer own a store and now both of us are retired and so we will be able to travel more.  I hope I will see you out there.  Do forget your tripod--its important you know.
