HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP

We looked up Vi, Went the back way to Eureka Springs and Berryville, Missed our turn to Berryville so we drove thru Eureka Springs, to Berryville, We called Tommy, Vi brother's house, got no answer, so I remembered Gerry Swofford had built her house and so we called him to find out where she was if she was still living. Thinking she would be there in Berryville, but she was not, she was in a nursing home at Holiday Island before you get into Eureka Springs. So we had to drive all the way back, where we just came from. It was worth it when we got there and saw her and she recognized us when we went into the room and begin talking with her. She really looks good, gained some weight especially in her legs and lower body, but that is not being able to get around very good. She walks with her walker but not very well.

We set and visited with her a good while, we talked about old times when we lived next door. She talked about our little dog that climed the fence when he would see Coy our in the pasture. She mentioned the little black pig, Coys pot belly pig that would nurse the cows. The chickens ans so many other things she remembered. I am so glad her memory was good that day, It was just ment to be for us to see her that day. She begged us to spend the night, to ask them to move a bed in there so we could spend the night. She ask repeatedly. I tried to tell her we couldn't. I wish we had stayed in Eureka and went back the next morning, but I needed to get home. My diverticulum was giving me fits. It broke my heart, she just cried, the tears just rolled. She kept asking how we found her. We repeated over and over which I didn't mind, just being with her was so good. I just hugged and hugged her.
She told me old friends stop by and tucks me in bed, the tears was just rolling, she said how can I sleep now after visiting with you all. I said a prayer and we left, it was hard, so hard, she is a precious lady.
I am praying God will keep her until we can get back up there and take some old pictures.

Have got to go to bed, GOD BLESS and keep all my love ones, it makes me sad to think of all my love ones and some so far away. Will write more on visit later.
