Kansas/Arkansas/Missouri trip

[gja1000]

Hi Everyone! Missed you all!!!

We had a GREAT trip. So much fun. Hubby did really well, no breathing problems. Our only glitch was the EXTREME distance between terminals in the Houston airport. We finally flagged down electric carts to carry us to out gate. We also had to unload a bunch of our medical equipment and the like because my backpack would not fit under the seat or in the overhead of a 50-seat jet. It was a little crazy, but worked out OK. We were prepared coming back and got a smaller bag to put those things in so we could gate check my backpack.

We flew to Kansas City and then drove 4 hours with Hubby's sister to Eureka Springs, Arkansas where hubby's aunt and uncle have a home on Beaver Lake. Absolutely beautiful!!! We spent a couple of days there with his 3 sisters and aunt and uncle.

We toured Eureka Springs. I'd not been there for 30 years, and it looked exactly the SAME!!!


Next we drove to southern Missouri to stay in the Big Cedar Lodge - owned by the Bass Pro Shop. Stunningly beautiful. We had a 3 bedroom, two story, log cabin. It was so wonderful.

We ate dinner one night in a restaurant, Lambert's, where they threw hot rolls at you. NO KIDDING!!! Servers walked around with a basket of hot rolls and if you wanted one, they threw it at you and you had to catch it!!! And I mean sometimes they threw it from across the room. They also came round with fried okra, fried potatoes, black eyed peas, and macaroni & tomatoes. If you wanted some, they just plopped it on your plate. There were nine of us eating together, and the flying hot rolls made for lots of laughs!!!

I'm so sorry, but I forgot my camera. My sil is sending me some pictures she too, but who knows when she'll do that. So, I took a few with my phone, they are not very good, but here they are.
