Rode a chilly north wind south. Six inches of snow and 12 degrees when we left Whitewater. Snow showers, sometimes heavy, until well south of St Louis. Only 40 WJJDegrees in Little Rock, although the trees have leaved out and the azaleas are starting to bloom.

Now ensconced in an 1882 carriage house in old Little Rock. A remarkably nice place—spacious, well appointed, lots of comfortable furniture, two bedrooms, two baths, a well stocked kitchen, and a big fenced-in garden-yard where Pax and Bear (a cute Yorkie) can pal around.
