Yup. I was in Arkansas for the weekend and I actually really enjoyed the fresh air for a little bit…  Hot Springs is the 10th biggest city in Arkansas. No doubt it is hot and has springs. It is also famous for its spas and baths. The drinking water here is supposed to be superb as well.  In fact, I saw a posh stack of Mountain Valley Spring Water at Union Square Whole Foods last week.

For those of you who are puzzled, I spent the prime days of my youth in high school there. My mother still lives there so I try to visit once a year.  I kind of giggle every time when I have to explain this to someone because it really is a bizarre place. I may not be a debutante or even a southern belle, but you can’t deny that I got the dirty dirty south.

These are from the road that leads to my house.
