It’s been a long time between vacations. This year, I booked 5 days at Echo Bluff State Park in southern Missouri to get some peace and quiet to read, knit, and to see some of a God’s handiwork. So far, we are very pleased. The accommodations are comfy, and the scenery is outstanding. 
There’s not much choice in restaurants, it the one in the lodge is very good and overlooks the bluff.
We went to Alley Spring this morning, where my family spent lots of happy times. Stuff changes in 50 years, so most of the landmarks have changed. It still smells the same, though–like summer vacation.
Miss you all, but for the moment, glad you’re not here. See you next week.
