Henderson, TX to North Little Rock, AR

May 10, 2019

Got an earlier start this morning, under the threat of more rain. Headed straight north out of Henderson to I-30 and followed the 30 up to 430 to 40. Seemed strange to pass the turn off to our house. But, since we are only going to be in town until the 20th, it makes since to stay in the rig, rather than unload part of it for just a short time.

A first for us, we are staying a couple of days at Burns Park, which is a huge complex run by the city of North Little Rock. They have almost everything the outdoor person could hope for, equestrian trails, bike trails, golf course, Frisbee golf course, soccer, baseball, outdoor pavilions for large get togethers. And a large RV park with 30 amp power and water, this is where we are headed. The RV park is very nice, sites are spread out and easy to get into. We are here for a couple of nights as there is a big BBQ bash going on at Riverside RV Park, our park of choice, and we will move over there on the 12th.

Made the move to Riverside this morning, total mileage for today under 10 miles. Have a very busy schedule while we are here, between us we have 5 doctor appointments, plus the move of all the caravan jackets, totes, books, binders, sleeping bag for Quinn (she will join us in Great Falls, MT), as well as clothes we didn't pack for the short trip, cleaning the refrigerator in the house out...and the list goes on and on.

As soon as we got here, I set the clock on the microwave, then Phil came behind me to warm something up and it was dead! Just like that ...kicked it's heels up ...stuck it's fork in the wall! Well, we can't survive without that for six months, so it has to be replaced. Phil found one online at Best Buy, same make, model and dimensions!! It fit like a dream, unbelievable!!

Next day, the little fan in the bedroom goes out! This is beginning to be kind of like the twilight zone. Supposedly things like this happen in threes, so if we go on that assumption, then we are done...big fan in living room, microwave and little fan. Murphy is dismissed!!

Granddaughter, Zoe and her husband Dauntae, will be down from Ft Smith on Saturday to spend the night at the house and we will all go to Quinn and Carson's high school graduation on Sunday afternoon. Can't wait to see them and get to visit for a little while. Then they will go back home and we will go back to the house and close it up for the next 6 months.
