After saying farewell to friends Cindy & Mike (and taking a photo of his 'Retired' number plate') we drove south past Little Rock to pull up in front of friends' Sandy & Joe Bill's lovely home in Fordyce, Arkansas. In the photos above I have tried to show you the setting, with our RV parked at their front door surrounded by tall Loblolly pine trees, and with the lake to the rear of us. You can constantly hear birds chirping, and we saw numerous red cardinals, bluebirds and red-wing blackbirds. It is a busy time for our friends as it is Festival time, and Joe Bill is the chief organiser. Sandy works in the festival HQ each day along with Wanda, and they sell over $1000 worth of Tshirts a day. I was able to spirit them away for a coffee break though, and we left Murray & Joe Bill to mind the HQ.
While I was sitting with them in the HQ, a young married woman, Ruth, came in to buy a Tshirt. She was dressed from head to toe in camouflage, and I jokingly asked if she was heading out on a duck hunt. She gently advised me that duck season was over, and it was now turkey hunting season. In fact, she had shot herself a magnificent turkey only a few days ago. She had the photos to prove it, and even gave me two as a souvenir. She proudly described how her turkey was a male, weighed 20lb and that she had killed it with a shotgun.
