OK here are a few more shots from around my parents' place and mine.
Here's our family vacation cottage (on the old family homestead in Arkansas) on a very cold, frosty morning earlier this year:
Here are some storms moving in - the view from my parents' back porch up in the Ouachita Mountains in Arkansas:
One of my granddaughters playing outside in the barn on the Arkansas farm. This barn is about 100 years old. I wonder if I've already posted these - LOL:
The family homestead in Arkansas - this house was built in the 1880s:
The vacation cabin in the summer - this is a style called a "dogtrot" because it has a wide, open porch running down the middle of it. This porch is made slightly more narrow at one end, so there is a steady and cool breeze through it all summer long. We go up there about once a month for a weekend or so.
These next few photos are taken in New Orleans. I was born there and we have family down there.
Tugboats on the Mississippi.

The Natchez river boat:
The wheel on the Natchez:

Hey, if they are friends of yours ask them for money. And while you're at it tell them you have a dear friend in Argyll who could use some extra travel cash so they don't have to fly in cattle class.
