Post #1 - Hot Springs, Arkansas

Dave was in training in Huntsville, Alabama beginning May 4th thru' May 22nd. When he was finished there that Friday, he rented a car and drove to Little Rock, Arkansas where he picked me up at the airport in the evening. It took exactly 1 hour for us to drive to Nathan and Pamela's. We arrived in Hot Springs just before dark. The two of them came to the motel where we were staying (4 nights free with Dave's earned points, and 1 night paid). It wasn't the most luxurios but we were not to complain as points are points, and free IS free ! We only needed a place to lay our heads at night,....that's all. Saturday we went over to N8 and Pamela's to check out where they are living now. They are renting a really nice older home with a huge back yard. One big beautiful Magnolia tree and several River Oak trees along with some bushes, etc. There is a small stream in the back also and some Dewberries along the back fence line (Pamela made a Dewberry pie for us whil we were there). Here are some pictures of the yard and house, etc. #1) Nathan & Pamela; #2) Front of their house; #3) Looking towards Pamela's garden from back deck; #4) Bloomed Magnolia in center of picture; #5) Looking from the bottom of yard towards back of house and garage; #6) Part of back yard; #7) Little stream in the yard. The pictures don't show how big the yard really is. There's some grass on the other side of the garage with a nice big tree. Also there is a work shop in the back of the garage with a locking door and 2 windows in it. (Next post will be of our walk down town in Hot Springs).
