It's a Dog's Life!

Pictures of Socks and Coco...and maybe Sock's sister!!!

Weekend in Little Rock!

These are a few pics we took in Little Rock this weekend. Note in particular the dog friend we met at the dog park. Shelooks EXACTLY like Socks!! We are pretty sure they are brother and sister. They sure played together like they knew each other...rolled around and hugged like old friends. Elle, the girl dog was also a "rescue" and the owner doesn't know the previous history but look for yourself. How could there be another mutt so close to Socks?

We also drove by Viridian where Todd will be an engineering intern this summer. They specialize in "green" buildings so Todd should learn a lot.

Also pictured are the new headquarters of Heifer International located next to the Clinton Library. Brad is standing in front of the visitor's center next door which was one of his deign projects and will be opening soon.

Enjoy the slide show!!! (....and be sure to check back for a video later!)

The Razorback Cello Section '09

 

Not every Razorback team gets a lot of newspaper publicity. Reporters don't come from everywhere to write about how this team is doing...who will carry the load next year and what freshmen are coming in. However, while the annual Red and White football game was being played down the street, the UA Symphony Orchestra combined with the university's Schola Cantorum and the community's Master Chorale performed the Brahm's Requiem at the Walton Arts Center. Needless to say it was gorgeous and of course that was due mostly to the cello team. (Well, DUH! of course!) Guys, you are MY dream team and worthy of praise!!

It is rather hard to believe that the cellist on the extreme left is related to one of the Floppy Bottom Boys pictured in the previous post. Of course he would not claim any musical affiliation I'm sure.

The Floppy Bottom Boys

This is the group you didn't get to hear at Extravaganza 2009. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your point of view!) things were running a little late so the Floppy Bottom Boys yielded the stage to others with bigger amplifiers. We had fun anyway....and preserved our ear drums for another day.

Extravaganza 2009

The Westark Area Council's Extravaganza 2009 was a spectacular success. Attended by nearly 2,000 people, the event was held at Ft Chaffee just outside Fort Smith. As you can see by the smiles on the faces in the video everyone had a wonderful time....and the weather was just gorgeous. (not counting the high winds and the electrical storm at night.)
