THINGS WE LIKE TO DO
Rj likes to hunt, occaisionally fish.
Rj watches LOTS of various sports on TV, mostly Football (pro and college) and NASCAR.
We are AVID Arkansas Razorback Fans, all sports.

Rj loves to Smoke Meat and Grill.
Rj is a big Weather Buff. He missed his calling. He is a Computer Programmer at a shoe factory,
But feels like he should have been in the IT department of the National Weather Service.
The link of his weather page is above.

Rj is contemplating retirement this year, 2025, working part time somewhere he wants to,
Like Home Depot or Handyman work!!

Lila likes garage and yard sale shopping for antiques, and Auctions (her Dad was an Auctioneer in Texas),
Genealogy, Jigsaw Puzzles and Reading.

We also love the outdoors and try to camp as often as possible in our camper.
Cossatott Reefs is our new favorite.
Lake Catherine in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and Degray Lake in Hot Spring/Clark County, Arkansas.
We also take the camper to the ocean hopefully every year.

Our Garden is no longer as big as my background on the page, but we have a small one most every year.
We LOVE the fresh vegetables, I do some preserving (Can and Freeze).

That's All Folks!! Thanks for the Visit.
We hope you have the best day of your Life!!
