Trial Run

This is a test run. Frances has taken a moment to explain how to post multiple pictures in a blog. She mentioned more than once that it is a simple procedure. Here goes...

Okay. So I have another picture, not in the correct order, but hey, there they are.

The top picture is another antique hanging outside the Ole Sawmill Cafe.

Thanks for the info, Frances.

Mount Holly in Little Rock, Arkansas

I took this picture thinking of Holly. It is the entrance to the cemetery in Little Rock, Arkansas. Carlos and I spent a few hours in this peaceful place. It was walking distance from the Bed and Breakfast we stayed at, and we found it quite enchanting. It's amazing how much history is buried in these old cemeteries. Some of the graves date back to the 1700's.
We stayed in the historic district of Little Rock, where many of the old houses have been restored and are quite beautiful to behold. As you can see from the blue sky in this picture, we had perfect weather during our brief stay in Little Rock. As a matter of fact, we didn't get a drop of rain during our trip to and from Indiana. How lucky was that?
More pictures to come. No one has enlightened me as to how to post a series of photos, so it'll be the tedious one by one routine until yours truly discovers how to do this.

Picture taken at the Ole Sawmill Cafe

One thing is certain: travelling across the United States of America is not what it used to be. There was a time, not too very long ago, that one could find a Mom and Pop business or restaurant on any given corner of any given city or town. Now it's Wal Mart, Home Depot, McDonald's, Sonic, and every other friggin' business that has franchized their chain nationwide. Boring!!!

Carlos and I managed to find a few independent businesses on our way to and from Indiana. We were happy to give them our hard earned dollars, and satified that in doing so we were helping them stay in business.

The Ole Sawmill Cafe, in a small town in Arkansas named Forest, was perhaps the best place we stopped to eat. It is unique, full of personality, and most importantly, the food was excellent.

I can't seem to download more than one image per blog. How irritating. I've tried to download a series of pictures, but my efforts have been fruitless. Maybe someone could help me out here, tell me what I must do to post as many picutes as I please, in the order I choose?

GRADUATION DAY

We are all aware that the big day has come and gone: Frances is graduated, suddenly cast into the ranks of educated people. Immortalized in this picture is the big smile on her face, not a trace of worry over the speech she will be delivering in less than an hour's time in front of hundreds of people: teachers, parents and peers. There is no need to say it, but what the heck, we are proud parents and we have good reason to be. Her speech was delivered eloquently and without flaw, in a calm, cool and collected manner that was like a breath of fresh air. Hurray!
