We drove up to Leachville yesterday to visit the gardens at the Adams Estate. We left the house at 8:00 a.m. and stopped at Shoney's in West Memphis for breakfast. They have a good breakfast buffet. A tour bus was just pulling into Shoney's parking lot as we approached. I believe they had about five tour bus loads before we finished our breakfast. We saw the Freleighs who were on their way to the FedEx gofe tournament.

We arrived in Leachville at about 11:15 or so. Had to ask directions to the Adamw Estate.

We spent one and a half hours looking around the gardens. We enjoyed it very much, but noticed that the roses were no doing well at all.

After we left the gardens we drove to Blytheville and stopped at That Book Store. We knew of the bookstore since that is where John Grisham had done book signings several times. I asked if there was a park with picnic tables in Blytheville. There was, and we got directions to it.

LK and Betty had prepared a picnic lunch for us. The park was fairly busy with what seemed to be several family reunions taking place. As we were getting ready to leave, we sat and watched three boys doing flips (and some backflips) off a slide.
