The Road Less Traveled

Happy Mother's Day! My mom is in Orlando, but we still managed a very busy Mother's Day! We started the day at the Battlefield Methodist church with the Zahns, who were my second family growing up. We gorged on a delicious lunch fixed by Christina, then took a quick power nap before heading to Ozark to Con and John's. We once again were filled to overflowing, but the highlight of the trip came after dinner when we boarded four-wheelers to see the new outhouse my uncle built at his park. Yes, that is my grandmother on the back of the four-wheeler! No, we didn't just get her to pose there. She made the trip into the woods to see the park too!
John has created many trails and places to stop and enjoy being still. A spring comes out of the hillside here near this bench. The wildflowers and woods were just beautiful. Once the motors on the four-wheelers are shut off, the only sound is the water spilling over the rocks.
'Tis a privilege to live in the Ozarks.
