We have arrived safely in a small town called Paragould, in AR.  Diane May Gandero has found this very quaint Inn that lives up to its name. The Rustic Inn. It is a really nice, clean older Inn. No elevator, but the stairs work great. This is a supper find.  Just one night here and then off to Branson, MO.

We are on our way to Branson MO. Today. We are with 3 other couples, and all of us are driving our convertibles.  We met and ate at Cracker Barrel in Crossville Tn.  After dropping our pets off for boarding at 7:00 this a.m.  Five miles out of Crossville, we have run into rain and lightning.  We should drive out of in in an hr or so.   Steven and I are the lead car. Keep you all updated.
We are on I-40 heading west to Jackson Tn.
