Day 6- Bushwood
by Andrew JohnsonAs we said, Fate has played a major role in our adoption journey. Sometimes Fate is merciful - sometimes cruel. And sometimes Fate thinks it’s funny - it led us to the only dry county in the Greater NW Arkansas area. Siloam Springs is smack in the center of Benton County - dry. There are two places to get a drink around here: The Navajo Indian Nation, less than a mile from our doorstep; and the bar at Dawn Hill, which is actually a very nice, prestigious golf and country club. Since our bloodlines don’t allow us membership into the former group, we decided to join the ranks of paying members of Dawn Hill. For the astronomic price of $5 per year, the full benefits and priviledges of membership are extended to us. Which seem to consist of waiting an hour for a simple sandwich and enduring the throngs of Arkansas Razorback fans on sports night. Which isn’t so bad, after all, their colors are Red and White - Andy fits in just fine. By the way, the Bushwood reference is from Caddyshack, and although there is no harbor here, they do have their own Lefty and Scoob - we actually witnessed it! Maybe every bar has them…
Other than that, the biggest event of the day was fixing a flat on our rental car. Of the dozens and dozens of rental cars we’ve, well…rented over the years, NEVER have we had a flat. Back to the WalMart SuperCenter for a new set of treads. If they only had an OB/GYN department and a laundromat, we’d never have to leave!
