Jimmy and Cynthia Donaldson live in a beautiful place. To say that Northwest Arkansas is beautiful doesn't begin to express how breathtaking the Ozarks are. Jimmy was surprised that we kept saying how BEAUTIFUL it is because I live in the Rockies. It is a different kind of beauty with so MUCH GREEN!!! Jimmy and Cynthia live near Yellville in a cabin they build two years ago. They have carved out an amazing view out over the Yellville area with chickens and goats. They are living the simple country life that so many people would love.
While we were there we visited a cemetery back in the hills. It is something that Chris and I like to do and Jimmy took us to just the right spot. (The older, the better.)
The highlight of the sightseeing was Bull Shoals dam and lake. WOW!!! That is one huge dam.
We visited the dam with Jimmy and his precious granddaughter, Jaden. She likes to feed the carp at the marina. I got down on my tummy to feed the carp and introduced her to "carp petting." Jaden tried it next and was a great carp petter. SILLY FUN!!
We even found the Arkansas version of Almosta Ranch. Chris and I agree that the next time we visit the Ozarks, we'd like to go in the fall. I bet that would be equally beautiful to our June visit.
