Parker enjoyed putting the "lid" on everyone's head.

Finished inside of Playhouse

Today Shelley, Shirley and I went to Benton so I could help Michael wire and finish paneling the inside of Parker's Playhouse.

Ashley also came down from Conway.

Parker shows off "her coloring."

Michael bought the material needed to put outlets, a light and switch and to panel the playhouse.

Ashley and Parker check out the job.

New Year's Day

Over the past week, we have really enjoyed having Parker with us for two visits.

She was here for a total of 5 days and 5 nights.

She watches another video before we left for Benton.

We got to Benton just before noon.
Michael had smoked ribs and chicken for lunch.
It was all VERY GOOD!

Parker was glad to be home.
