When we visited my mother-in-law in Hot Springs, she would take all the plastic jugs she had been saving and ask us to drive her downtown where they had public fountains, where you could get water. My husband would help her fill all of her jugs and she was happy, she said it was the best water in the world (had a strong mineral taste and gave me the runnies, no kidding).

We had parked, we were walking down toward the main street and I was reading the guide book and kinda walking backward... oops... fell off a yellow marked curb.... looked down... ankle was three times bigger than usual and black black black... I passed out... scared Joell to pieces but a lovely woman stopped and called for help.... once it was decided that I had fainted from fear and not a heart problem or something we did continue on our way to Tucson... I was a mess.... skinned nose and forehead.... not to mention cobled knees and wrists and this absolutly horrid looking ankle..... interesting... I still want to go back to Hot Springs but Joell won't take me... can you believe <LOL> Anyway, long story short, got back t o Tucson and was fitted with a brace etc and sat with my foot up for the rest of the summer..... crocheted afghans for the entire summer <LOL. everyone got one for Christmas. more than anyone needed or wanted to know... mj On Apr 20, 2011, at 7:16 PM, [email protected] wrote: Your Mom is not close to Austin. My husband's family was from Arkansas, just one niece left now, in Hot Springs. We would drive there every other year but I've forgotten how long it took. I think Arkansas is a beautiful state, I loved walking in the fields looking for crystal rocks, sometimes, we would find some beautiful ones. Gloria
