    I thought I had more time for things, now that I am retired. But I am busy with such a lot of things and issues and days pass so quickly.

    But I definitely have to find time for "Wednesday's ABC". It seems, indeed, to be fun.

    Great flag photos. Had to look up the Arkansas flag as I had never seen one before so now I know that its the only place in the US that mines diamonds. Gosh there is a lot of symbalism going on in that flag.

    Clever bench! Who doesn't love a flag? The Mexican child in a flag embellished T-shirt is wonderful, too...

I Is For Itsy Bitsy Spider

It's time again for ABC Wednesday . If you aren't participating in ABC Wednesday , you are missing out on a lot of fun. This week the letter is I. I is for Itsy Bitsy Spider. The nursery rhyme Itsy Bitsy Spider was first published in 1910. The origin of this nursery rhyme isn't documented. The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout Down came the rain, and washed the spider out Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain So the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again.

The best rendition of Itsy Bitsy Spider I have seen is this wacky 15 second version. My second favorite version is the Carly Simon version from her Coming Around Again album. It is not common knowledge that Itsy Bitsy Spider is actually an allegory of the struggle of the lower classes. To help you understan...

Cathy's Corner

My An Arkie's Faith column from the May 29, 2024, issue of The Polk County Pulse. At 8:30 on Sunday morning, several family members left our hotel in Siloam Springs and headed to Cathy’s Corner for breakfast. My family was in town for my granddaughter's graduation. Several of us ended up staying at the same hotel. After a night full of anxiety from storms that produced tornadoes close by, we wanted to go out for breakfast before heading our separate ways. Cathy’s Corner is a Siloam Springs landmark. We have been eating at Cathy’s for over 30 years. It is the place to be in Siloam Springs on a Sunday morning. I pulled into the crowded parking lot, searching for an open space. A space near the front door opened as a truck pulled out of the lot. Inside, the restaurant was a beehive of activity. It looked a bit like an Arkansas farmhouse. There were setting hens on the wallpaper and signs that said such things as “Good food,” “Fresh eggs,” and “Friends are always welcome here.” The...
