My first stop after leaving Nashville was to visit Nathanael and Kimberly in Asheville, North Carolina. We ate out twice during the short time I visited with them, but I got caught up on their latest adventures.
Another block print which has nothing to do with my spring break but it fits in with this subject. Nathanael's self portrait and cover of the newspaper he works for in Asheville, the Mountain Xpress.
This is a picture of Kim by Nat which had been hanging at the restaurant she works out. He sold other works but he kept Kim! And he framed her in the back of an old broken down chair!! Now that is recycling.

After taking pictures of the spring flowers in Oklahoma and Tennessee, I found some in Mom's back yard. 
There were beautiful crocuses.
And inside at Chanda's house are some lilies of the valley on a quilted wall hanging she was working on.
Chanda and I accompanied Mom and Dad to the southern part of the county. While they visited and played cards with Jim and Mim Ream, Chanda and I went to Bird-in-Hand Market and visited Cindy, their daughter, and bought some of the candy she sells.
We also visited Uncle Robert and Ella in Gap. And in our travels I took some pictures.
We saw this little girl running down the driveway after the wagon.

Saturday night, March 27, the Youth Group of St. Paul Penryn had a spaghetti dinner and auction. Do you recognize the auctioneer? (Notice Cynthia in the lower left)
Sunday afternoon was very spring-like, nice and warm, until...
When I was at Chanda's house at Christmas time there was an earthquake.
This time there was a tornado! Not in Penryn but in Clay Township.
This is where there were 8 trailer homes destroyed and fortunately no injuries.
A farm just across the creek and meadow lost parts of the roofs of 3 buildings. Many volunteers were there the next day repairing them and cleaning up. Another good one to click on and see details.
I finally have taken a decent picture of the apple basket water tower. This is along I-81 in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
After enjoying a few days in Nashville I headed west to Oklahoma through Arkansas. The clerk at the motel suggested this park when I asked for something I could stop and see not far off the interstate and west of Conroy. This is a beautiful park and worth a return visit. Petit Jean State Park has an interesting history and is the first and best park in Arkansas. It was a beautiful spring day too. These pictures were taken from an overlook of the Arkansas River. And before I had taken very many pictures my camera's battery was dead. There are beautiful views from the bluff as the river wends it way around.
My camera never made it to the right side. But my cell phone has a camera and had a charge so I took a few more pictures with that. This is a waterfalls in the park. I walked to an overlook from a parking lot but there is also a trail where you can go to the bottom and walk around by the river and the falls.

"Wait! Wait! Don't leave without me!"

"I have 15, who will give me 20?"
Sunday afternoon was very spring-like, nice and warm, until...
a cold front came with lots of hail and rain and wind. Was I back in Oklahoma?
When I was at Chanda's house at Christmas time there was an earthquake.
This time there was a tornado! Not in Penryn but in Clay Township.
This is along the Middle Creek.
An Ace hardware store in Lincoln with tornado damage. D & E was working to restore electricity up the street and all over the area. They were out retrieving their lawn furniture from various fields. Notice the stop sign broken off and down in the grass. This is a good picture to click on to see the details.
