Dream Come True
March ’20 I had a planned trip to Arkansas and complete a bucket list to visit all US states. Covid hit, the trip was cancelled and postponed until now, 3.5 years later. I landed in Little Rock in a sunny Saturday afternoon. I walked out of the airport excited to check things out. A small …
Be Nice
