Today Bruce and I took a trip to Eureka Springs just to try out a restaurant a colleague had recommended because it had a nice-sized vegetarian menu. Local Flavor. Talk about yum! We got a little later start on our drive down than we usually do and arrived pretty hungry, so we made Local Flavor our first stop. With a meal like that, we were set up for a wonderful day.
In case you hadn't noticed by reading this blog, I really love spending time with Bruce. And, we really enjoy walking together. Eureka Springs is the perfect place for this. It's also the perfect place to remind us that our individual tendencies (his to look down as he walks and mine to look up) make us a great match and provide a sometimes necessary safety measure. If you've been to Eureka Springs, you know the sidewalks are a bit. . . uneven. I was spared a few tumbles by Bruce's watchful eye. He got to see a single red berry on an evergreen shrub, a pair of sparrows, and a coal black flying bug of some sort (I still need to look him up online) that was absolutely gorgeous (all black and shaped like a dragonfly only thinner) thanks to me. We didn't buy a thing except lunch, but had a marvelous day wandering around.
We didn't have dessert, but I did get a sweet surprise when we got home - I discovered the review of my new novel, Love Under a Dark Sky, had been published on Romance Reviews Today. I've placed the link above for your convenience.
Summer's here and the livin' is easy. Sweet days; slow, meandering ways; eat and be merry; and read books! Oh, and never lose the wonder!

What a nice post. I've been to Eureka Springs, but not for a long time. I remember it as a charming town, full of interesting things to do - in an area with enough natural beauty to inspire wonder in even the most jaded person. Thanks for the reminder.
