Sunday May 31st ~

The best way to start the
 day is with a grateful heart...

Sniff and I are always up very early. We usually
 feed the wildlife before 6am. Just to make sure they
 start showing up early.  Suddenly there are tons 
of squirrels and chipmunks searching for peanuts
 and whatever else they can find. We even have 
the Canadian geese showing up to munch on 
bird seeds and peanuts. I also give them 
some grapes every once in a while.


Arvid and I had a very good time at the Eureka 
Springs Blues Festival. We heard and have seen 
artists we knew nothing about.  One lady in particular
 was excellent.  Definitely will be following her shows
 Hopefully one day she will be in Fort Myers.  Her
 name is Carolyn Wonderland.  If you ever get the 
chance to see her perform.  Don't hesitate just go.


Once again we climbed a million stairs
 just to get around.  The city is mainly made 
up of historic building, with no elevators, and
 yes we both did the same amount of stairs.


As mentioned before, Eureka Springs, Arkansas, 
is a uniquely preserved Victorian resort town in the 
Ozark Mountains known for its natural healing
 springs, distinct arts scene, and incredibly steep,
 winding streets. Often called the "Little Switzerland 
of America," the entire downtown area is listed 
on the National Register of Historic Places.


We really had a great time in Eureka Springs,
 Arkansas.  Hopefully we will do it again next year.
 

We spent a quiet evening at home watching a movie
 and snuggling up with Sniff.  Relaxing and stress free. 
 We also had our "famous" snacks and a cold Pepsi.


Today our niece Resham has a birthday.  She Torin
 and their fur baby Apollo like to hit the road. They are 
travelling to San Francisco California, also checking 
out Lassen Volcanic Park and Lake Tahoe.  They love 
road trips because they get to take Apollo with them.


Wishing everyone a good day.  May we all find 
beauty in simplicity and gratitude in the little things.


It is nice finding that place
 where you can just go and relax...
