Our new home

A shot of the dam of Bull Shoals lake , about 2 miles from our house .

This was taken in the Sylamore forest area in the Ozark national forest at Gunner Pool

I want to start a online journal to record our lives as we adjust to our new home in the Ozarks in Arkansas.

Penny and I both left our jobs in Texas and made the move in mid December 2012.  We have been dreaming and planning to move to North Arkansas for some time , and finally decided the time was right .

  So far , we really love it and have been getting outdoors to the trails and seeing the back country .

I have aalso started the job hunting process , with an application in at the state park down the street , and also I applied for a position with an electrical company in Mountain Home.

   Yesterday , we drove out and found the site of the resturant and cabins that my Grandmother's sister and husband ran back in the 60's (?) . I remember them as Annie and Odie . The resturant  is still going strong (Fred's Fish House ) but , the cabins have been torn down .... just the slabs remain where they once stood . I can barely remember the place from when we were up here on Vacation when I was 3 or 4 . Im going to have to ask my Mom if we actually stayed in one of the cabins back then .
