On Monday, 24-OCT, Roger and Terry Krikke - friends from our stay in Japan - arrived in HSV for a short visit before heading to Jackson, TN, to visit their daughter, Sarah, a junior at Union College. They are currently living in Peoria, IL, where Roger works for Caterpillar.
On Tuesday, Rosie and Terry had lunch at the Marlsgate Plantation (near Scott, AR) with 44 of the HSV Isabella ladies. Here are two pictures of the plantation:
Rosie and Terry enjoyed the plantation gardens.
While the women had a fancy lunch, Roger and I toured HSV and had lunch at The Home Plate - a great place for "down home" cooking.
On Wednesday Roger, Terry and Rosie went to Hot Springs to do a lot of the tourist events (e.g. drink hot spring water, walk down bath house row, etc.). Of course, they also had to go "shopping" at the local potter's and the quilt shop. Here are Roger and Terry in the Fordyce Bath House.
I met the guys for lunch at The Shack (where else!). After lunch Rosie took Terry to the HSV overlook. The view from the overlook was excellent. The red colors really standout against the green pine trees.
It was great to see Roger and Terry and reminisce about our time in Japan. Thanks for taking time to travel to HSV, AR!
