Got up and lazed around for awhile. Around noon we left for Hardy and Mammoth Springs, Arkansas. We drove by the Walmart in Ash Flats and went into Hardy to the old town part. We parked at one end of town and walked down one side of the street and up the other, looking in all the old stores. Lots of antique type stores, craft and quilt stores. Fun. We went to lunch at one of the old cafes, I think it was called the Corner Booth. Good food and very reasonable prices.

After Hardy, we went to Mammoth Springs. What a lovely place. Glad we went. While we were walking over the bridge, we saw a muscrat eating in the river. Fun. Beautiful area.

We left Mammoth Springs and went to Walmart in Ash Flat. Did a little shopping and then headed back to our “home.” I made dinner, pork chops, potatoes, green beans, and applesauce. It’s one of Lexi’s favorites. We all enjoyed it.

We were going to go to the magic show but we discovered it started at 6 PM, not 7 PM. So we are done for the day. Hope your day was wonderful!
