Visiting Grandpa Pharr and Grandma Jean

September 27, 2010

We went to visit Grandpa Pharr and Grandma Jean in Cabot. We sat outside and watched the birds and had dinner at Dixie Cafe. Fried corn-on-the-cob is my new favorite! It was a lovely day. :)

This was taken on our way to DC. You can see my forehead in the rear-view mirror, so it's a picture of the three of us! Isn't he cute in his hat?

It's the thought that counts.

Vera Bradley Ad

July 1, 2010

I saw this ad in Better Homes and Gardens a week ago when we were visiting Grandpa and Grandma Jean while I was flipping through her copy. (Mine hadn't arrived yet.)

When we got home and I got mine, I had forgotten about this ad. But once I opened the cover and started flipping through, it made me happy once more.

Things like this take me back to my journalism days.
I'm not a HUGE fan of Vera Bradley, but I do like many of her prints. I love my wallet. :)
I find this ad to be simply amazing.

AND it reminds me of 13 Going On 30.

PART 1: The Magical Mystery Interview Tour, OR 7 States in 7 Days

June 24-26, 2010

Thursday we headed to Cabot, Arkansas (our FIRST state), to spend the night with Grandpa and Grandma Jean. We enjoyed playing with Doc:Friday we made it to Fayetteville for the weekend!

We explored the Square, Dickson, and campus a bit before heading to Uncle Chuck and Aunt Jeannie's in Springdale. Zach took me to where his former apartments stood. It was a little sad. :(

Here is a picture of the old courthouse on the Square. Very lovely. :)

This is where we spent our weekend:

Saturday afternoon Uncle Chuck and Alexis took us cruising on the boat on Beaver Lake.

We watched Alexis water ski AND got caught in downpour. (We sought refuge at the marina. *haha*) I love riding in a boat-it's always been my favorite part of fishing-but I still haven't quite developed my sea..er, lake...legs...

Lily was so happy to see us home safe!

Then we went to AQ Chicken House with Uncle Chuck. It was yummy! I love pepper, and this chicken had plenty of it. It had that home-fried taste. I also loved the sweet potato casserole, rolls, and mashed potatoes.

We rubbed his wattles for good luck!

I had quite the surprise en route to AQ. We were driving along, following Chuck, when I just glanced over to the right at a red light. Guess who I saw? The oldest Duggar, Josh, his wife Anna, and their daughter Mackynzie! We were stopped next to their car lot, AmeriCar. I first saw Josh, but my mind did not process who he was until I saw Anna and her long hair. ;)

Zach and I ended the night exploring Dickson Street and campus.

Zach found his name on the Senior Walk!! (He makes such silly faces...)

We went to Hog Haus, a micro-brewery, where he had a blueberry wheat beer and I had a Ruby Red, which is an Irish-style ale. :)

iPhone!

Here is a picture of me on my "new" iPhone at Grandpa and Grandma Jean's as taken on Zach's new iPhone (a 4g-so actually new) and sent to mine (his old phone). Makes for fun, fun, fun (AND more prompt journal posts)! Even though I've played with his for almost two years now, I'm still getting the hang of it. *lol*

Zach: What have I done? ;)

I guess now we will have to worry about me on our phone-less date nights.

Thanks to my in-law's for adding me to their plan so both my mother and I could spend less on our phones!!
