Miscellaneous Pictures.

As things begin to wind down here in Ash Flat (time is getting short), I wanted to post a few pictures of things that are again somewhat random. I love this place and wish I could stay longer, but I can only plan on returning in the future for a visit with my friends, and my family who live here.

 Papoose Falls in Cherokee Village. This is the MOST water I have seen flowing in these falls. It had been raining a bunch, and everything was filling up around here. All the lakes were meeting their quota, and Sequoia Lake really did look nice!

 Here is our entire district in one spot. We gained a few since, but now we are back to 8 members in our district. Several left, some were transferred, and some were just moved around. Too complicated to explain. In the front row from left to right are Elder and Sister Miller, Elder and Sister Me (Clement). In the back Sisters Cunningham, and Campbell, Elders Ferguson and Morgan. Ferguson is the only one who went home.

 This is the Calabama Restaurant in Franklin, AR, southwest from us. Directly south of Horseshoe Bend. Let me explain. One of the owners is from California. The other is from Alabama. Need I say more?

 Elders sometimes get a kick out of the Silliest things! 

 What would you expect from a town called "Evening Shade"?

 This is the SECOND Super Moon that I got to capture on my camera. I got one last year, (2012). and the second in 2013.

 This is the Stephens family in our branch. Five girls, and still hoping for boy(s)!
.
 Fourth of July parade in Horseshoe Bend, AR. Several different antique tractors I had to get pictures of.

 We had a pioneer celebration at the branch building commemorating the 24th of July. We had a great turn out!

 Part of the 24th celebration. This was the "Trading Post". I cannot explain, so I won't try to.
 We had a slew of children at the 24th celebration. This is pretty much our primary. Great isn't it!
 This is a monument commemorating the Men and Women of the Armed Forces in Ash Flat. This is a great edifice that does just that. It was built by donations, and it is really something to be proud of. From left to right: Elders Morgan and Taylor, Sister Clement, and Ralph Sharp. 

 Elder Taylor wanted to show off his new "machine"! The next photo explains, so check it out.

 Don't mess with me y'all!
 105mm Howitzer on display. We had something like this when I was in Viet Nam, but I am not sure if this is the same Howitzer or not. I was a foot soldier, not an artillery soldier.

 Elder Taylor firing the thing off (fake, fake).
 Bea Sharp, and Sister Clement. Bea didn't want me to take this picture, but she finally relented because I told her if she didn't, we wouldn't have any pictures of them to remember them by.

 Fourth of July fireworks in Salem Arkansas 2013.

We went to watch the parade in Horseshoe Bend because Teresa was riding on the Garden Club float. Boy was she excited!
