Visitors from the north
Before my alarm went off this morning my parents had already loaded up their car and started home. Not, of course, before popping into my bedroom to say goodbye. Even Uncus jumped up on my bed briefly to say goodbye. I only see my parents three or four times a year, so it’s always nice when they can come to Batesville. If you like country life, folk music, hiking and nature, rural Arkansas can actually be a decent vacation spot. And fortunately my parents do like all those things. Kathryn was around for most of their trip too, which really made for a nice weekend.
Saturday evening we visited a small town that happens to be the folk music capital of the country, or so I’m told, and listened to some traditional folk music played by a group of people sitting on a storefront porch.
We seem to have fallen into a nice routine of no matter what we do during the day,(hiking, shopping, geocaching, spelunking) in the evening my mom goes to bed while my dad and I stay up watching zombie or action movies while drinking beer and eating peanuts.

Your dad's pretty cool. My dad has other fine qualities, but doesn't appreciate the zombie genre. Cherish what you have John, it's rare.

I love to see the two of you enjoying each other's company.
