A to Z Store

Hi Love! It’s been two weeks that we already went to the A to Z store. I don’t have time to seat in front of computer and writes about this little trip to there. But now, I have to give a couple minutes and shared to you guys!  My family and I had experience to explored of this huge store from home decoration, gift, floral arranging, tools, furniture and because where in fall they had a percent off for all fall decoration and even Christmas holiday stuff. So, amazing! The weather was beautiful sunny, too.

Take Care! 

We're Back From Vacation.

         Kumusta Everyone! Excuse me for the lack of posts. To be honest, I have few posts that I left in my blog before I went my travel but it was an automatic. So, I won’t worried and thinking posting when where in the Philippines the connection of internet is really slow I don’t trust to download any things there and I don’t have patient dealing with hassle connection because I choose to spent my time with family and not the slow internet connection. I can even open my instagram and face book in couple days there and it was okay for me. Since, I did post automatic in my blog I am thankful that we can do in advance in blog sites. I’m currently backed in state from vacation in Philippines. I have many stories to shared to all of you guys about from travel but in the few night, I was still fully awake @ 5:50 am! Now, I haven’t good sleep. In the Philippines and State it’s 12 hours different. I know everyone knows about this or you can go search goggle if what time in Philippines and Arkansas State.  It is morning here in Arkansas state 5:52 am and Philippines is night 6:52 Pm. I am in my zombie mood from days now and I am dealing with the worst jetlag ever.  I don’t know if I can make it to work this week but maybe, I call in sick since my jet lag and I got a cold from flight. We also need to go dental appointment for my daughter, so lot’s going on after the vacation.

    

        two  sample photo's of Polo- balingoan, misamis oriental, philippines. this is wonderful small island near the port of Balingoan you will see Polo-island when you traveling to go camiguin island. i will show more photo's of my birth place later, stay tons. 

         I'll talk to you'' later! xoxoxoxo

Mather Lodge State Park Arkansas

Here’s the front entrance of Mather Lodge restaurant in petit jean state park Arkansas. I been visiting several time in petit jean because it so close to drive from where we live at. I estimate about 40 to 1 hour drive but, I never been in Mather Lodge before. So, this is my very first experience. The restaurant food was fantastic and the view looks neat & clean.

We were thinking to go back there when it warm up little bit. I was spending inside the restaurant because for me, I was feel so cold and outside was windy. We walk and looked only inside the building. So, here’s the site if you are interesting: petitjeanstatepark.com

My family and I tried to go to visit the Rockefeller but unfortunately was closed. When you get into Rockefeller entrance. You can see the big water pond with goose. 

We stopped to the rock house cave trail. So beautiful and hiking trail is also nice but we didn’t stay long because my mother-in-law was there with us and we don’t want her to waiting for us for so long. We decide not to stay and the reason too is I don’t have a good lens with me so all the photos taken from my phone. 

Road Trip to LA

                Were back from road trip. It was funtastic and My most amazing summer to visit with family in Louisiana. I'm guessing that this would be our last road trip in summer since, school gonna be open again. actually I got all the school supplies ready for the next week. all about now is figuring the routine to getting up early for school. Anyhow, last weekend I couldn't decide if I went this trip with family because I took off a lot vacation but, luckily I got permation from my boss and he'd say okey with it for monday and tuesday.

Country Village- I been this place 3rd time. they have a good bread and one of my favorite is apple pie fried. I don't know you but I do love pineapple .^_^.  

We'd stayed house of one of my mother-in-law best friend. I am so glad my daughter found Eli  as a playmate. they been know each other through picture and this time finally met. they are bought 7 years old and they get along each other and both friendly. 

In Louisiana there is a lot of corn field, cotton, soy beans we seen during driving around in Monroe LA. and also, My Mother-in-law had a lot of story about her life in LA. I love every stories 

All the way back to our town,  mostly cloudy and rainy. but must thankful we have it for the plant...

there's a lot of food but, I didn't care  taking photo that much since, I am around with family that the time I don't want them to think that I am weirdo with camera, hahaha...
