Remembering 2010
2010 is now behind us and a New Year is beginning. Here is a little trip down Memory Lane 2010 at An Arkie's Musings
An ice storm in January turned everything in Mena sparkly and cold
Autumn and Grandma had a great time at the Mardi Gras parades

We made a quick trip to Eureka Springs, Arkansas for our 35th wedding anniversary. We spent the night at Scandia Inn Bed and Breakfast

We had Christmas at our house the day after Thanksgiving.

Our Christmas Tree: This 5 story tall tree was just outside our window at The Landing in Branson, Missouri. Since we were all alone this Christmas we had a Christmas getaway in Branson.

I wish for a Happy New Year for each of my readers. I have been blessed in 2010 and am looking forward to making more wonderful memories in 2011.
