Eureka Springs, Arkansas

After 2 days in Harrison we drove up to Eureka Springs and stayed two nights.
We'd checked the phone book and found a Motel 6 and called to reserve our stay. Had a lovely country drive, entered Eureka Springs and drove right on out of it...um...no motel 6. Rosa calls, we get directions. So back through town we go. Still no motel 6. Rosa calls -again- and the guy stays on the phone giving us directions. Well, Motel 6 turns out to be Motel 62. It had changed hands after all the phone books were printed. I saw it when we entered town the first time...but I was looking for a motel 6.....

Saturday was spent doing touristy things. We went and saw Quigley's Castle. Here are a few pictures:

This house was painstakingly coated in rocks and yes those are real plants growing from the ground in the house to the second floor. They are 50 years old.

Notice the bottom book, its Harry Potter :)

A fence and gate made of rock and cement

The monkeys needed their own bed.

Then Stormy evicted them and hogged it for himself!

Trish, Peggy and Rosa at the Harrison, Arkansas show

This is Pocket, she went BoWs and BoS and it was her first show. Way to go Pocket

Rosa took this shot across the motel yard after one of the -many-rainstorms that day. We have had more rain on this trip than we've had in Washington in a few weeks.

==========================================

We were driving in Harrison and saw this on the corner... we did not stop for a closer look. You may not be able to tell from the picture but that is a couple of guys selling AKC pups out of a truck... Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

These are a few of the bags Rosa made for the JCCA auction and one for the japanese chin rescue and some are for sale.

This is a quilt shop we stopped at on our way to Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

All loaded, nice and neat....like that'll last *lol*
Rosa made each of us a goody bag, she embroidered the outlines of the states we're traveling through and we are buying hat pins to put into the outlines.

Our friend Becky bought us each a set of pajamas with long and short bottoms to lounge in (((((((HUGS)))))) Becky, such a thoughtful item.

The rest of the bag is full of stuff, sewing kit, neck rest, squishy pillow,lint roller, note pad, flashligh, pen, ear plugs, skittles.. fun!

These are the metal horses running across the hill after you cross the Columbia River at Vantage.

The herd has grown since the first time we saw them.

That is the view from the direction we'd just driven.

This was our lunch break at one of the rest areas we stopped at. It wasn't the one that had this:

And on that note, I'm taking a break.
