A few days ago I wrote a blog about the Mayfair Hotel in Searcy Arkansas and how it was very near a park that had healing waters. This old postcard shows that park at about that era, I'd think.  The spring was covered with this circular pavilion or gazebo and it was within easy walking distance ...

I've been married to a car dealer for more years that I can count.  He was one we could depend on.  If something was wrong with the car I'd call up and ask him what was wrong and he'd diagnose it over the phone.  We've had kids call from California asking for the free vehicle diagnosis.  They've ...
