When I caught up to the guys again, Vernon had just received a satellite text from Brandon. (It absolutely blows my mind that when out of cell phone range – which can happen often around here – a satellite text can make it through!). Unfortunately, the big tire water tank they had set yesterday, was…

Pecking Order
I went down to see the progress the guys have made on the pipeline. They were working on getting the lines into the corral. The pipeline now runs down to the corral and it will T off into tanks in the interior. I went on a side quest… retrieving Daniel’s dog from the neighbor’s and…
Throwback Thursday: Silent Auction and a Story, v.2.0
This was first published on December 15, 2015. I love looking back at the “old” library before our remodel and our history with author Craig Johnson. Well, another year down for our Silent Auction/Open House. Attendance was hurt some from the large snowstorm that blew in… but support was still there. 103 items were up…

Southwest Trail
As we continue on the Trail of Tears, after traveling north for so long, we now turn west and south again. Many signposts will be coming every few miles. Camp Pope allowed the Choctaw to stop, rest, and resupply. McHenry’s Farm sold passing Indians food and supplies and three groups of Choctaws camped there. The…

I realize now that I took all the photos from tonight’s Open House and Silent Auction with the library’s iPad. Which is great until I have no photos to post here from home! Whoops. Over 65 people attended the Open House with 117 items to bid on. For those of you with Facebook, I shared…

We are 55% done, having walked 257 miles. We have reached Milestone 9, the most northern point of our walk through Arkansas. ”Chief Folsom and Chief…
Little Things
Our wreath is finished and it looks great, especially in low light. Tonight was the auction for the Festival of Trees and the wreath brought $625. We don’t receive that money but just a share of the pot, whatever they chose to give us. Tomorrow the display is open to the public and they vote…
Throwback Thursday: TWEET, v.2.0
This was first posted December 4, 2015. Strangely enough, I’ve been helping with the wreath for Festival of Trees and decorating the library the past few days. Although I feel like I should have lost 10 pounds in the past two days, of course, that’s just a dream. I have *worked* though! I’ve decorated the…
