| Ahhhhhh . . . back home in our
beloved Ozarks and one of our favorite camping spots on Beaver Lake near
Eureka Springs. |
 |
| Our friends, Diane and Bill
Pharis joined us for a long weekend. A large time was had by all! |
 |
| Another beautiful sunset on
Beaver Lake. |
 |
| On Sunday morning, we attended
Thorncrown Chapel, as we do every time we are in Eureka for the weekend.
This beautiful chapel was designed by world famous architect and designer,
E. Fay Jones, an Arkansas native. |
 |
| Jones was an apprentice of
Frank Lloyd Wright. He is also
the only one of Wright's disciples to have received the
AIA Gold Medal
(1990), the highest honor awarded by the
American Institute of
Architects. The chapel was chosen 4th on the AIA's
top designs of the 20th century. It was added to the
National Register of Historic Places in
2000, despite being only 20 years old, due to its exceptional significance.
The story of the chapel will surely touch your heart. If you'd like to
