We visited Mountain View, AR, where we found real down-home local flavor and history at the Ozark Folk Center. We drove to Blanchard Springs Caverns (on an extremely hot Memorial Day) to enjoy the coolness below the earth. Then we visited a beautiful over-look at Calico Rock, AR.
In Old Town Hardy, AR, I found a musical instrument that even I can play - the lap harp. I love it! There are music sheets that show you exactly which string to pluck. I can instantly play familiar songs from these sheets. I'm glad someone is producing a musical instrument for dummies.
We visited Corey's ex-father-in-law, who is in hospice care. He is quite ill and they are not sure how long he has to live. Corey was unable to speak to him (too emotional), so he wrote Joe a note and asked Marge, Joe's wife, if she would read it to him sometime. I also met Corey's first wife, Kathleen, and her husband Tom. Corey commented that she has changed a lot and he does not even know who she is.
All in all, we had a wonderful trip and great, but short, visit with Carl.
