Are we there yet?

Whew! A thirteen hour driving marathon is not my idea of a great time...but we finally arrived in Malvern, Arkansas last night. I did the driving while Steve worked on the phone and the computer. It was a very productive day for him with his personal chauffeur at the wheel. He had to take the truck with him today but tomorrow I'll be able to drive him to work so I'll have my own wheels to do some exploring. Malvern is very near Hot Springs so I think I'll head in that direction. So...what to do today? First - workout. Second - swimming. Third - work while watching HGTV(LOVE IT!) I'm heading out for a walk this afternoon - 84 and Sunny in Malvern!
I lost a day somewhere this week and realized it was the Tuesday I spent exploring Eau Claire. I found an AWESOME antique store called "Antique Emporium" in the old downtown part of town. It was more like a museum than a store. Tons to look at! If you are in the market for anything stuffed-as in previous living things-this is the store for you. Seriously hundreds of anythings -alligator, badger, calf, birds, wild bore, any head with antlers - a HAMMERHEAD SHARK FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD!! I controlled myself on the dead animals and purchased a beautiful vase - it looks like water and the color reminds me of the ocean. I'd show you a picture but its packed in the truck for now.
One more thing...Eau claire is full of one way streets so if you're driving around gawking at some beautiful old houses and some nice young girl yells, "MAAM! This is a one way!", you should turn around quickly and be glad no one in town knows you - that's what I did.
