Cassville MO

Roaring River State Park  Cassville, MO

We had a nice drive to Cassville, MO. I really didn’t take that many pictures for this adventure, so I’ll just have to bore you with my writings.

With the wildfires in Montana, Hurricane Harvey in Texas and now Hurricane Irma in Florida and the Earthquake in Mexico, I honestly haven’t felt like writing and sharing our adventures. My heart is heavy, so this trip over to Cassville was especially uplifting, since we had a wonderful visit with our dear sweet friends Anne & Briggs. We had an opportunity to just sit, relax, breath fresh clean air and enjoy some wonderful fellowship. Mr. Charley and Briggs went to play golf and Ms. Anne & I took the day to take in the sights and shops of Eureka Springs, AR. This quaint little town had some of the most unique shops housed in some very old buildings that have been beautifully restored. Rather than the boring “touristy” shops down one side of the street and up the other; these shops are “layered” up to three levels within one street, and then down some more. It was a wonderful relaxing day just to take our time, look around and enjoy the beautiful weather. Fall hasn’t hit yet, but you can feel it in the morning air and see it in the shop windows. We had a light lunch and then heading back, stopped to tour the Thorncrown Chapel . This beautiful Chapel is nestled in a woodland setting and rises forty-eight feet into the Ozark sky. It’s a magnificent wooden structure with 425 windows and over 6,000 square feet of glass. I can only imagine how magnificent and peaceful it is when Fall is in full color.

A stop at Martin Greer’s Candies (third generation candy makers using recipes passed down since 1896) topped off our wonderful day. I won’t say how much candy I bought, but……let’s just say I better share or I’ll never fit into my clothes!

Mr. Charley and Briggs had a good game as well. Got home in time for Happy Hour, dinner and chillax before bed. All in all, it was a wonderful relaxing time with great folks.

I’ll leave you with this awesome pic I took on the drive in. I hope it leaves you with the same awe it left me, God’s reminder He’s still in control, even when everything around seems to be falling apart.

Have a good one everybody, we’re sure trying to.
