Today was everything Southern in one day. Since Brian "Pappa Bear" Blevins has such a love of the South, he's here to do a special story on the day. Thanks, Dad!
The last few days I have been reminded why I have always had and always will have a warm spot in my heart for Arkansas. Today was, in one day, a lovely summation of much of what is so appealing about life down here. As I stood with Wyatt, Kerry, and Lisa on the bank of a quiet little farm pond where we'd just caught our fortieth bass, I told Wyatt, "Today you experienced it all in one day. We started the day with a home-made breakfast of biscuits and gravy, eggs, smokey bacon, juice and fruit. We went to a wonderful service at the New Life Baptist Church where we were warmly welcomed. We came home and had a fish fry with all the trimmings, including hush puppies. After that we had a nap, followed by watching a NASCAR race. If that wasn't enough, we finished the day by catching at least 40 bass." If you think I'm making this up, I'm not, that's really how we spent the day. I heard Wyatt tell Kerry tonight, "I think I'm going to move down here some day". That was while Kerry was starting the four wheeler so Wyatt could go for one more ride before he went to bed...

Gotta love the South. Except for the humidity. I hate to rub it in guys, but weather in good ol' Zootown has been outstanding. 80s and no humidity, clear skies... Beautiful. But hey, I've never caught 40 bass up here...
Heck no you haven't!
