We just got back from our vacation in Arkansas. Above is the whole family, minus a spouse or two. We're on top of Petit Jean Mountain on the porch of a cabin that was built in the 1800s and was home to a family with nine children. A one room cabin. Imagine! I'm the one with the white sunglasses.
The photo to the right shows my parents and us four kids. This was the first time in eleven years that we were all home at the same time.
Not only is going to Arkansas a time to visit my family, but it is also a time to refresh my soul and lift my spirit. Amazingly so, but as soon as we cross the border, I feel uplifted. Arkansas is truly my heaven on earth. My husband and I would move if not for our grandchildren. We've been present at the birth of every one of them. I would miss them so if we were to move back to the Ozarks.
When I die, I hope my heavenly mansion is located in a place similar to my childhood home.

My son in law and his wife are in Arkansas. He attends Harding University, studying Bible. My husband and I hope to go visit them soon. They have sent pictures, and some areas look amazing. I hope to see for myself just how pretty Arkansas really is.

We lived in the Ozarks for awhile. My husband's family is in Shell Knob, MO and Pocahontas, AR.
I think we're going to visit in August. :)
