THE PARTY!
Our first stop was Alexandria for David’s mother (Clara) 90th birthday party. We boiled crawfish and all the trimmings. Most of the Howell clan were there. We had a great birthday celebration for MawMaw. She really enjoyed the crawfish and almost made herself sick eating too many. However, she was doing fine the next day when we saw her.
Thanks to Lisa & Dave for opening up their home for the party. Thanks to Wynn for all his hard work….THE CRAWFISH WERE GREAT!
We are now in Arkansas at our cabin, spent the day yesterday working in the yard, cutting grass and briars! Getting ready for our visitors, Kristy, Chad and Anna. We are looking forward to spending the weekend with them, showing them the beauty of the Ouachita Mts.
We will be moving on to the next leg of our trip on Monday and should have an update after that.
Here are a few pictures from Mom's big Birthday Party.




Hey,
It's nice to receive your update. I'm truly jealous that you got to eat crawfish. That is something we truly miss here in Texas. Loved the pictures of all your family and Ms.Clara. Have fun. We look forward to hearing from you again.
