Have a safe Fourth
Posted Monday, June 30, at 3:29 PM
I love the Fourth of July. I always look forward to visiting Caraway during its Fourth celebration. It has actually been around longer than I have. This will make 62 years. I like it because it has kept the "old-fashioned" tradition. A kid going to Disney World could not enjoy the festivities any more than I did as a child visiting the Caraway Carnival.
I also want to comment on everyone who supported the Buffalo Island American Cancer Relay for Life last Friday night. It is good when all of the area communities can work together. Once we got our tent up for the second time (thanks to the wind) we were ready to cook corn dogs.
Don't forget to call (870) 561-4634 or e-mail revisb@dailystatesman.com and share story ideas with me.
Good to be home I was on vacation last week and had a wonderful time but it is good to be home with only two lanes of traffic. We had a great time in Virginia and Washington D.C. Being a country girl, I was amazed with the Metro system. It is a great way to get around. I am not a shy person and I managed to talk to people every where we visited. I guess my southern accent gave me away because every one wanted to know where we were from...
I'm back Sorry it took me so long to get back to the blog. I am just learning and it is hard to teach an "old dog" new tricks. Thanks for the comments we have received. Hopefully, I will get better as I learn what I am doing. As I have said in many of my columns, I was raised with the manual typewriter. I hate to admit I am older than computers. I wonder sometimes what we did before computers and cell phones...
