Gone away...

but I'm back now :-)

Bill and I took a 4 day weekend and headed to the Ozarks to visit family. We had a REALLY great time too! Even mister grouchy pants said, "I can't remember the last time I had so much fun" No really, he actually said that! Wow. You know me, I'm not an outdoorsy kind of gal but I have to admit that it was nice to be away from it all. No TV, no Internet, no radio, NO NEWS!  Yep, it was good. Plus, they can cook :-) And who wouldn't like to see this frequently;

It's entirely different from the flatlands that's for sure.

And look, here's my man being sociable!

That one was taken in a little town called Eureka Springs. Bill was very intrigued with the town. Not the touristy part of it but the town itself.

And here they are shootin'...bullets that is;

Again, who wouldn't love to sit out on their deck if it looked like that?
Thank heavens the chickens have enough sense to stay out of the way!

Parts of the Ozarks are a little backwards but even those parts have their charm.

Yep, it was a lovely couple of days and we are both looking forward to going again.

Monday, it was back to work for the man. I had the day off. I worked all day quilling though. I volunteered to donate a couple pieces of art work to the silent auction here at work. I had 4 I was working on but was only able to finish 3 of them;

I like all of them. I like that I like all of them! I may be sticking with this quilling for awhile!

Yesterday I was swamped at work! But today everything is back to normal...whew!
