We wanted to call this site "Run outside, bark at Tom" but Dad said it was too long and confusing.
It was a long day of sitting on the couch in the Cracker Barrel and I don't particularly like all the bumping and noise, but we made it to Hot Springs in about 5 1/2 hours. We are at J&J RV Park this year. It's a smaller park and the owners live up on the hill overlooking the RVs. Mom made beef sate for dinner but we didn't get any. There's some nice grass near the all-gravel sites here and Blue saw a squirrel.
Mom and Dad are enjoying a 1996 Chateau Montelena tonight. Tomorrow they are planning to golf at a small 9-hole course here that they will tell you about later.
That's enough for now. I'm tired.

Whats Cooking?
Tonight's dinner was a beef sate that I made using most of Steven Raichlin recipe from "How to Grill".
Marinate
1 lb of thinly-sliced flank steak in a mixture of
3 Tbsp brown sugar
3 cloves minced garlic
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp fish sauce
1/4-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 C cooking oil
3 Tbsp lime juice
Skewer and grill on high for just a couple of minutes on each side.
We ate a few skewers each and have leftovers to cut into pieces and mix with a peanut noodle recipe for a refreshing light meal.

Enjoyed your blog. I can see the kids are having a great time. All is well here, got the trash out of the garage it smeeled pretty bad. We have 3 new additions in our bush by the garage. The mocking bird has 3 little mouths to feed. Nature is so grand when you can observe up close. Have a good time.
