Arkansas


Last weekend we went to Arkansas to visit family. Robert's younger brother, David died on Friday. He had been suffering for a few months with cancer and he was given a short time to live. Robert's last conversation with his brother was very nice and we are trusting that he is in a much happier place where there is no cancer. It was very nice going back to Arkansas. Robert was born and raised in a little town of Magazine where there is the tallest mountain in Arkansas. Unfortanatley is rained from the time we got there until we got back over the TX border, so I didn't get to see much of the beauty I love. It was great meeting relatives for the first time and getting to learn more about the West's. I love being a West and I'm proud of my husbands family. Arkansas gets a bad wrap, because of the "back woods" people. There are those kind of people everywhere, even Texas! I love Arkansas!

I'm sorry for your loss. Chuck and I love Arkansas too! We evacuated there for Rita, and actually seriously thought about moving there we loved it so much. It is beautiful.
