What a great night’s sleep! We are so blessed to be able to sleep well in DunnGone (the name of our motorhome, in case you forgot). After a couple of cups of great French pressed coffee, we walked the entire campground, and it is spectacular. DunnGone was not on a premium site, but all sites in the park are well maintained with lots of space in between.

During our walk, we observed the many different motor homes and RVs and, of course, many different towed (toads) vehicles. We’re in the market for a toad and we are inherently interested in who’s driving what behind their motor homes. We salvaged (or is it scavenged) more wood for the phantom fire. As we returned to the camp site, Kay heard a songbird with a beautiful tune. It was an oriole–our first sighting of the season. They are so colorful, passing through our area the last couple weeks in April.
Seems like cities never change. We did a shopping trip in the big city of Little Rock with stops at Camping World, Sam’s Club, and Subway. The help at Subway was so pitiful compared to what we have in Mountain Home; we had forgotten how incompetent some of the folks are in big cities (big to us). As we were eating the sandwiches at our site, we met the lady next door. Seems she plays guitar and another RVer friend of hers sings Southern Gospel. We urged them to conduct a jam session. Hmmm…wouldn’t this be neat around the phantom fire with roasted marshmallows, s’mores…oh yeah, momentarily forgot about the diet.
We re-leveled DunnGone, and Kay was off for the first of several social activities including getting her hair done and having dinner with "old" teaching friends. After getting a cut and color job on her hair, Kay picked up Pam and they went to Shotgun Dan’s in Sherwood to meet Betty Wallis and Lois Kirkpatrick. Lois had come in for a scholarship audition for one of her former students at OBU and stayed over so she could attend Karyn’s shower on Saturday. The ‘old girls’ as they called themselves had a quick reunion and visit. This group taught together over 25 years ago in the Jacksonville Schools. Kay returned home to DunnGone about 10 PM.
