    The Mail Run



    The Mill Wheel out in the carpark at The Inn of the Ozarks, Best Western Hotel Eureka Springs Arkansas, home of "Myrtie Mae's" coffee shop, and the best food around here.


    Woody and I needed a day out. We have a lot going on. We have the work started on the house, and the job is going well. Woody was called by the new Walmart in Jane MO, less than 2 miles from the house, to interview as a cashier. Has a second interview Friday morning. A 4pm teetime with the neighbors, and pizza dinner after 9 holes friday night... (I get to go to dinner)

    I have been busy getting all of the details and materiels selected for the remodel, and trying to pull together our personal and financial lives together paperwork wise now that we have an address to give. I have also been applying for work via the internet and like Woody, will likely get a call from one of the firms that I have applied to. There is a shortage of competent labor so I feel assured that eventually something will turn up for us.

    So this morning we are having the old floors lifted up and the contractor was starting to demo the master bathroom, and build us a large walk in shower. All was going well there and our home is in good hands ...

    We left and drove up to Eureka Springs to have lunch at Myrtie Mae's resturant. We really enjoy the atmosphere and how the ladies take care of us, brocoli cheese soup that is satisfaction in a soup bowl, and daily carrot or banana muffins, fresh baked, and daily specials that taste like you think "Home Cooking" should taste. The final smile generator is the price, all you can eat soup and salad and the hot meal, $6.50. I often take the hot meal hot intact and have it later. Its more than two people can handle.

    Its a lovely drive, the 40 miles up route 340 up through the Pea Ridge Battlefields, and town, then on to route 62. Its been beautiful. Blue skies and cooler temperatures allowed us to open the car windows and enjoy the smells of the wild flowers. It was glorious.

    We ride in silence mostly, there is no reception in the hilly area and its just a time to take in the sights sounds and smells of the countryside.

    As we drove, we saw plenty of deer, and some other critters that we only see in the evening. The deer are lovely... The rolling hills and green fields are so pretty. We are seeing that we are heading into summer, as the hills are turning from green and gold. The wild flowers are getting more and more intense in color and I hope to get a few more photos of this incredible sight.


    We went out to Berryville to our floor covering guy. We needed to pick out the tile for the bathroom and make sure that this was what we wanted, for the last time... and we also have a PO Box in Holiday Island that we get all of the forwarded mail from Hawaii. Some people say "gee you go out there every week..." I think its a treat this drive in the country. Soon we will have jobs and busier lives and look back on this time with a smile... The Mail Run is a necessary thing for now, but may soon be looked as a good excuse for a lovely afternoon off.
