What happened to summer? How did the time pass so quickly? How is it possible that we celebrated the last official holiday of the season? Last Friday afternoon, we were packed and as quickly as Collin could get home from work, we headed south to Wynne, AR where we set camp in Village Creek State Park.
It’s 57 miles from our door to the camp site. When weekend outings are short, it’s nice to have a minimal driving distance and we can reach this natural paradise in a little over an hour. When we turned into the park to begin the Labor Day holiday, Collin commented, “Look at these beautiful trees; I feel relaxed already.
It was a beautiful weekend and the temperatures were amazing. There were very few mosquitoes and we sat out a great deal. Our camp site was beautiful and we had quite a bit of room and privacy. In the distance behind the trees, we could even catch glimpses of one of two small fishing lakes.
We had great fellowship and good food with friends. Collin and I general enjoy the early quiet and cooI of the mornings and linger over our coffee without rush. Usually about mid-morning we’re ready for breakfast and Collin cooks it outside. I love the smell of bacon as it sizzles on the griddle. Sometimes, we eat out on the picnic table.
During our weekend, we shared a grilled shrimp meal with friends, Dennis and Regina, and Dale and Amy. Another night we grilled steaks and ate outside. We had a great pancake breakfast our last morning together.
All to soon it was time to pack up and head home. There had been no rush, no hurry, and no schedule. We rested well at night and came home refreshed. For a few days, we were able to. . .
Live Simply,
Marcia
