1/1/16 - I need to start blogging and catch up with the last two weeks.
On 12/16/15, I met up with Robyn and Aunt Ada and we headed for the airport at 6:00am for a 8:00am flight to Houston, Texas.  Aunt Ada and I had a good flight and when we got to Houston, an airline attendant decided it was way too far for us to walk to the next gate but the cart at the gate could only take one of us.  They insisted that another cart would be here soon and to just wait.  But since we have been sitting for a while, we decided we could walk.  It was a little bit of a hike, but we did fine.  We then flew to Tulsa, Oklahoma and there were met by Teresa (Aunt Ada's daughter-in-law).  She was so sweet and met us in the lobby to help with our luggage.  She also gave both of us a wonderful warm neck scarf for the time we were scheduled in Arkansas. It was very nice and I was very thankful for it.  After getting our luggage, we headed for Teresa and Ron's house in Alma, Arkansas.  We had a two hour drive but was very interesting since it had been territory that I had not seen before.  We arrived and got settled in.  We then met Ron (Aunt Ada's son) at a local Mexican restaurant and it really  had good food.
On 12/17/15 - Teresa had to work all day since she had an event at the Performing Art Center so Aunt Ada and I had a little down time.  Ron came home, picked us up and we went to the Center early since he works in the box office but we did get to do some people watching.  Teresa did have a minute to give us a tour of the Center and we got to go back stage as well.  It was very interesting.  The performer for the night was David Phelps. He had the support of a band and back up singers.  It was a great Christmas concert and he was great.
On 12/18/15 - Teresa had to work for just a few hours and Aunt Ada and I took it easy.  In the evening we went to the arena where there was a high school basketball game.  Ron volunteers as the physician on duty in case of an injury. We caught up with Ron and got a tour of the arena.  It was interesting since it is huge with all kinds of activities behind the scenes.  During half time, there was a dance performance and that was interesting as well.  We did not stay for all of the game since we had plans to leave early for Dallas.
