Greetings from St. Luke's parking lot.

It is Sunday morning and we are at St. Luke's in North Little Rock.  Deacon Joanna asked Chris to celebrate today as her priest I'd out of town.  They are doing the 8:00 service and I am enjoying a very quiet morning.  We have had a great time in Little Rock.

After surviving the tornado we walked around town and enjoyed some awesome ice cream.  We had a special tour of the Clinton Libray with Robert's  and Joanna's son who is an archivist for the  library.   Then we went for a nice walk and somehow I was stung on the face.  I never heard a buzz or saw anything but I have a painful red bump on my face.

 That evening we went to dinner at a fabulous steak house and celebrated  Robert and Joanna's 45th anniversary.  Saturday we had a tour of the older sections of tow before stoping at their house for lunch on their beautiful terrace.  After a short afternoon break to do laundry and naps,  we headed to St. marks for a fantastic shrimp boil.  It was quite a big deal and raises a lot of money for outreach.

After dinner we went to LePops for desert.  Thais is a unique ice cream shop.  The frozen cream pops come in 5 flavored but you can have them rolled or dipped in different toppings.  Mine was salt caramel dipped in dark chocolate.  Chris...chocolate dipped in chocolate.

We stayed at a lovely rv park on the river...next to a pedestrian bridge that took us over to town.  The bridges are lit up at night with colored, programmed , lights.  The last two nights were all pink for the breast cancer run Saturday morning.

Today we head towards Georgia.  We have to pick up the airplane in Birmingham and head to Fort Valley, Georgia for a power parachute fly-in.  Should be interesting.  We hope to mee Jennifer and Bud Currens there.  He is supposed to be Chris'  flying partner.

Headed to church soon and looking forward to a good service.

Hope everyone in our church we left enjoy the first sermon of their new priest.

Peace to all, Batbara
