We went back to our favorite ice cream stop in Garfield, Arkansas to do a little research on the size of the "large" cone, but I chickened out.....I can't seem to keep my face clean eating ice cream from a cone because of my beard/mustache! So I got a "medium" and had them put it in a cup to eat with a spoon! (blush) Wendy followed suit on the size, but not the method of consumption. Wendy also had a bit of a problem!!! YES, this is a "medium". And it's a "before" picture. Notice I am well prepared for any catastrophic event! And this is an "after" picture. Luckwilly, a term coined by Cindy H., she had a cup nearby and was able to salvage the bulk of the ice cream as it lay defenseless on the table top :) Even if I had a picture of the "event", I would have been barred from posting the proof :) On to our night's stop at Horseshoe Bend COE at Rogers, Arkansas. We ended up parking the truck away from the campsite as it was parked under an oak that produced these humongoloid acorns in great abundance, and we were afraid the dents would not qualify as hail damage. We are now at Tunica, Mississippi and will stay the next 3 days. Wendy is 100% better but we still need a followup PCM and ENT visit within a week or so. Thank you very much for all your prayers!!
Since my last post we spent some time at Cathedral Gorge State Park in Nevada. After several days of hikes and general sightseeing enjoyment, Wendy started having many problems with nose bleeds. Eventually we went to an urgent care clinic, then an emergency room and then an ENT specialist in Utah. After all that, the provided care was unsuccessful in stopping the bleeding so we started back East. We went to another ER in Oklahoma City and had them prescribe blood pressure medicine for her. She is doing much better these past 2 days. And we are very thankful! We are currently at Horseshoe Bend COE in Arkansas and will head out tomorrow morning. Here's a glacier at Great Basin NP. Next up, Cathedral Gorge. A few pictures at Cathedral Gorge SP in Nevada. This sign was at the end of a climb, it should have also been at the beginning! I doubt it would have deterred us. Next up, Tuba City, Arizona A little story about this overnight stop... we parked under this tree and during sunset these HUGE crows came in to roost. Did I mention they were BIG? We heard some strange noises during the night and upon waking the next morning, the top of our trailer was a different color! And Wendy's pair of shoes she left out overnight was no longer a pair. I looked all over the campground and did not find the matching shoe. There were several unleashed, roaming dogs about but I honestly think it was possible one of those GIGANTIC crows were guilty of the theft! Needless to say we stopped at the nearest car wash to "lighten our load", so to speak. On the way to USA RV park in Gallup, New Mexico we stopped at Winslow and stood on the corner....again :) And here is the world's smallest church, according to Winslow. This was another interesting stop...a Cadillac graveyard. I'm glad I'm not a bird! Next stop, Gallup, NM This was a very quick stop enroute to Amarillo, Texas. Then, Oklahoma City. Finally, for this post, we are at Horseshoe Bend COE in Arkansas. I'll post some pictures of here, soon.
Wendy is doing very well! Praises to God! As you can imagine, this has been a very busy week, and we are looking forward to tomorrow's adventure! |
