Peggy and I traveled to Fayetteville, Arkansas for a wedding this week. Our dear friends, John and Marcy, have a daughter who attended the University of Arkansas and she got married up there Saturday night.

If you have never been to Fayetteville, it is beautiful, and the drive up from Austin was quite pretty. Fortunately, we arrived in daylight since some of the roads getting in there are a little hilly for a flatlander like me.

The wedding was held outdoors and the weather cooperated. Gorgeous scenery and a nice cool day for an outdoor wedding. The reception was held in a barn. I mean, it is Arkansas.

After the wedding we got to hang out with folks we love. We sent the happy couple off with Chinese lanterns that only burned down a few trees — just kidding, but it was close.

We made the leisurely drive home today and went to one of our favorite places for dinner. Outdoor seating, great food, wine flights. What’s not to love.

Sitting outside in perfect October weather in Austin, Texas.

I hope the new couple is happy. I know I am.
