Last week I made a run to Fayetteville with cream to a plant that makes
Swanson tv dinners. They use the cream for batter and to make gravy.
It was good to be on the road that I used to drive. I stopped at my usual
c-store for coffee but as with most c-stores there wasn't anyone working there that I recognized.
At the
rest area there wasn't much activity. I guess I just hit it at the wrong time of day.
They still are not finished with
the lake but the thing that really seemed strange was at Fayetteville for the first time in 10 years I did not think about trying to call my son or meet him for lunch. Time marches on I guess.
It was an unevenful day but it sure was nice to be on the road that has provided me with many great memories.

I travel this road fairly often but you have shown me and taught me some things that I haven't seen/didn't know. I think I'll be driving to Fayetteville in early October to attend a fundraiser for the Oxford American magazine/honor ceremony for my favorite author Donald Harington and I'll have to look out for that cemetery/rest stop. I assume the Lake Ft. Smith sign is on old highway 71 and I'm not sure I'll take that route.
That poor girl!
