2103 miles each way...sore and broken but home

So, what did you do over the break? We decided to rent a car for 16 days and head back to Gretta land (Paragould, Arkansas) to chill out and eat animals. With the drop in gas prices and 50.00 a day for fancy city-like dog kennel fees- it was way cheaper to drop the cash on renting the car and the 2 days each way (well...aside from the recovery days associated with 2 18hr days on the road).
You may also notice a nicer image quality- we upped for a digital camera so the iPhone images are going to take a rest for now.

Gretta bonding with Orin (her dad- if you couldn't see the resemblance-Gretta is the one wearing glasses)

Me "bonding" with the perspective mother-in-law one beverage at a time...I think she's really down with the cause! (Hi Ann!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Orin and me chillin in the shop making stuff with all his tools talking about the money I lost last night in the poker game and how he took my only chance to win a game of cards...I can't wait to have in-laws! Orin- you owe me $33.00!

New Years Eve playing BINGO, I fit in so smoothly in North East Arkansas that you might not recognize me- I am wearing the hat and glasses. Laugh if you will- I won 3 games of BINGO and the family took 6 games in all. I may be selling my bikes and going on the pro Bingo tour in the spring.

Who else? Gretta. Thanks for driving!

"I really need MORE camo to fit in?"

One of the nicest things about our wedding so far is Gretta and Ann making the dresses. Ladies- here is a peek. She looked great in it when trying it on. For those pictures you'll have to pay.


Even a new camera can't make images taken from the passenger seat any better. There are loads and here are two to get the game going.
