Got a camper - 1st Trip Out - Break in - Branson Missouri

 So we bought this used camper with our kids.  Nothing fancy but a nice trailer.   We took it to the KOA in Branson last weekend for a two night break in trip.  Our friends the Pattersons tagged along with us.

We spent the day Saturday going to Dogwood Canyon and Top of the Rock.  It was a hot, but Great, day.

This is at Dogwood Canyon:

Excursions around Izard County - A hot August weekend at Calico Rock

Within a couple of weeks dad will be moving to Tulsa to live with Brenda & Jack in their new house. I spent last weekend at the NAIN cabin with dad. We had good conversation and went on a couple of excursions around Izard county that included a trip to Trimble Campground and Baron Fork. We also took at trip down the Boswell road to Mt Olive. It was a great weekend.

This is behind the church at Baron Fork after we had been through the cemetery:

Reed's Ramblings

A few years ago my dad, Reed Perryman , wrote a series of columns for the White River Current titled Reeds Ramblings. There were a total of 83 columns. I intended to post something on this a few weeks ago on the 5th anniversary of the last column.
I really enjoyed his style of writing these columns. You never really new what the column was about until the end. For example, one of my favorites is his column about girl friends. It was really about meeting my mom. A couple of years ago, I started interviewing dad and have recorded several hours of audio on topics such as growing up in Calico Rock, going off to college, army life, the drug store, the Calico Rock Cumberland Presbyterian Church, etc. I hope we can capture more. I am excited about the possibilities of ZOOMing a few interviews. Maybe someday I will be able to archive these interviews on the internet for others to listen to. In the mean time you can read his columns at the "Reed's Ramblin" link on my blog.
