Another Day In Eureka Springs

Well, the wedding day has finally arrived. Vicky and her parents and daughter arrived yesterday at 1 pm, along with Vicki and her husband. We stopped for lunch at Sparky's Grille. The entire wedding party was also there. After lunch, we went over to the Crescent Hotel where the wedding will be and where the wedding party and several guests are staying. We chatted for a while then I went to my hotel to change into something a little more formal for the rehearsal dinner. It was at a nice sister hotel down in heart of town. After dinner, we went back to the hotel for the Ghost Tour of the hotel. Some conman-quack doctor built it as a hospital for people with cancer, promising them a cure in exchange for a lot of money. But he wasn't really a doctor. The hotel has been the scene of a lot of ghost sighting and was featured on a cable program recently. Vicky's room was haunted--the impression of a body once appeared on the bed next to a lady sleeping in it. Vicky's daughter was happy that she switched rooms with her mom earlier in the day so didn't have the haunted room. At then end, we went down to the basement when they autopsied bodies and where the full-body apparition of a soldier appeared during the filming of that cable program. The tour lasted about 2-1/2 hours. Today I will take a ride around the area while Vicky and Vicki help out preparing for the wedding. It's at 8:30 pm tonight so have all day to look around. I went for a long run this morning and a small dog ran after me for 3 miles in one direction and 2-1/2 miles on the way back until a lady stopped and asked if it was my dog. We loaded it into her car and she drove off. That dog almost got hit by 100 cars and just wouldn't stop chasing me. It came running off a farm, so that's where that lady will take it first. Anyway, I have to run to Berryville Walmart down the road to pick up a tape for Vicky's video camera.

Happy 2007.
