July 4 - Anthony Chapel, Hot Springs Arkansas"
E. Fay Jones, the architect who designed Anthony Chapel, was an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Weight and won the American Institute of Architects‘s Gold Medal in 1990. His Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000, a status not granted to buildings less than fifty years old unless exceptionally significant. |

Your choice of subject is excellent. Suppose we get success without trying hard. We automatically become idle. It is obvious. But when we achieve something after struggling so hard, we get real joy. |

A Slow Day"
The heat and humidity always make things seem worse or, at least, uncomfortable. Homemade vegetable beef soup doesn't sound like a hot day meal, but it is good comfort. Besides those are the real cures for body and soul.

It's good that you have good food available that your tummy will tolerate. Rest all you can.  |

July 02 2025 - Crow and Ravens"
Yeah, it's the same in Australia - they can't be kept as domestic pets. But a crow army that lives in the trees sounds awesome... |

Wow just wow. This should not be happening to your niece. She is young and deserves a cancer-free life. |

My SIL is a Genius"
That prime rib is mouth watering. Just saying. You did get the important pic. I bow down to you for getting awesome prices for your prime rib every time! I usually buy our PR at Costco, but I think Brent might have gone to his butcher guy last time. We usually have PR for Christmas but this year, Brent got us one for Easter. As for self-checkout, trust me, I never goof it up. |

The Bard's Hall, June 2025, Entry 10"
Wow, I got exhausted just reading your post. On a more serious side, I feel much like you do. I'd say: "It's the 16th, I'm almost out of time!" It sounds like you've accomplishment a lot - my Kudos to you! Thank you for blogging with Webbie and I for the Bard's Hall Blogging Contest! |

50 State Travel Blog - Rafting Peaches"
I love the imagery of ancient oak tree with 1000 rings as a description of the different layers of sediment in the canyon. I have a couple of rocks and some red clay from the Grand Canyon in one of my recycled candle jar. I love looking the canyon walls too! |

Arkansas "
Hi, I didn't realize Arkansas was your home state. Geographically are we close to your hometown?
My cats hate the fireworks, they hide under the bed and I can't get them out until late the next day. Even then they jump at every sound. It would be one thing if the fireworks were only 45 minutes to an hour but not here in Vegas. They start going off around 6pm and don't stop until 3 am. It's like living in a war zone. Everybody and their neighbor tries to outdo each other except us and one other neighbor on our street. The mess the day after is everywhere in our yard and then the HOA sends emails telling us to clean up. I didn't last year and I'm not going to this year.
Anyway, it's good to meet Rosie, she's a true southern spirit. |

I am learning so much about the US, the customs, and people's ways, via your blog. Terrific.  |

"Hair of the Dog" is almost as good a name for a dog groomer as "Barkingham Palace," which I've seen in several different towns. |

Thanks for adding me into your adventure. Other than a fear of stepping across California's border...that is. Neat story here. Very thoughtful. |

Choking"
I like your analogy and everyone's comments. I don't take pills but my confidence in traveling is wavering. 46 countries and 200 places? You would think... |

Don't think, do. I have seen people fail at the last second on stepping onto a boat. Suddenly they hesitate. Big mistake. You get wet that way...  |

Gatekeeping"
I wonder whether I'd like it. I prefer cozy cities/buildings to sterile, and music halls to be properly acoustic for music. I like quiet and shady in general.
I'd rather be in Rylands Library in Manchester (a church for the Book), Lyme Hall in Cheshire for cozy, Ålesund for architecture, or a concert in Saarinen's Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo to listen to a concert.
I'm not sold on Brutalism although the Barbican is much more interesting than glass and steel. Imho, many warehouses could be refitted to look somewhat like this but without the cold sterility. |
