On Thursday, my son went to Arkansas to stay with Allen's family. I met my sister-in-law in Forest City, AR so she could take him back to western Arkansas. Since Allen was also out of town, I decided to head up to Paragould, AR for the night to visit friends.
Paragould is a town of about 22,000 up on Crowley's Ridge. I moved there when I started teaching at Crowley's Ridge College. It was my first, full-time teaching position. Also, it was my first experience in either attending or working at a Christian school. It was a big adjustment for me, but I met some of the best people in the Paragould area.
Wednesday night, I finally texted Myleea that I was going to come up for the night. Usually I don't make such last minute plans, but sometimes with Allen's schedule, I have to wait longer than I would like to in deciding to go somewhere. Myleea was understanding and didn't have much going on last week.
About 3:00 p.m., I arrived at Myleea's house. I didn't have much I wanted to do, except to go see friends that I have around there. We did go over to CRC to see the new addition to the gym so that the students would have a lounge. Dinner was at a Japaneses steak house that was very good, but the best meal was for lunch on Friday at Brickhouse Pizza. It might have been a good thing that it was not there when I lived there because I would have weighted a lot more.
While I was there, I realize that on the next trip there, I need to spend a couple of nights so I can visit more people. Paragould is not an exciting tourist location, but it's a special place to me.
