Happy 68th Birthday to my wife. We have guests to feed and rooms to tend to today but after that we are heading north to Mountain Home. Why? Easy to answer. B, double E, double R, U, N; Beerrun! ;) We are currently in Stone County. It is one of several dry counties in Arkansas. Baxter County north (Mountain Home) and Van Buren County (Clinton) to our west are wet counties. Either direction is about an hour away. However, you may purchase alcohol there. Occasionally our guests are unaware of this situation and just want a cold beer after driving all day. We have been able to provide them with such at no cost. No big deal except I was running low on beer. So we had to take a trip to restock. We opted for a late lunch at Arby’s in Mountain Home. It was the worst experience ever at an Arby’s. It was so bad, Nancy called corporate to complain. The food was decent but the customer service was terrible.
We got back in time to go to the Meeting Place for the show. Tonight was Kim Robins. She actually lives in Nashville, IN. Being from IN we knew a lot about her home town. The band was good. The music was mostly bluegrass and “old” country. A couple of the band members are staying at our B&B. They are very nice guys.
