With Alfie!<\/p><\/div>\n

We flew to Fayetteville Tuesday afternoon, spending the night at Phillip and Michele\u2019s. We got to meet Alfie, their cute terrier. He\u2019s such a cuddle and we just fell in love with him!<\/p>\n

The next morning we picked up Pete and Ginger and drove to Mount Pleasant, Texas, in the rented Dodge Caravan (what a hoot). It was a pretty drive through eastern Oklahoma and the Ouachita National Forest – we saw some pretty color in the trees although it is waning. We spent the night in Mount Pleasant, then drove over to the Harwell\u2019s house in nearby Pittsburg for the big Thanksgiving celebration – it was the first time in a long time that all of the family got together (although we missed Jeffrey, who\u2019s training tigers in Arizona, and Melissa). Lots of food and fun! Bruce gave me a tour of his gun collection (wow) and I got to play with Bash the dog in the backyard.<\/p>\n

With Joseph at Thanksgiving<\/p><\/div>\n

We spent the night again in Mount Pleasant, and made our way back to Fayetteville on Friday in time for dinner at Butterfield\u2019s dining room with Pete and Ginger. \u00a0Saturday morning, I found a great hair salon (Mayapple – love Juliana). We had lunch at Pete and Ginger\u2019s, then we dognapped Alfie and drove out to Devil\u2019s Den for a nice hike. I don\u2019t know who had more fun – us or Alfie!<\/p>\n
