Flowers in Golden, Colorado

June 11, 2024 On May 25, Bruce and I had lunch with a friend in Golden, Colorado. We had parked next to Golden City Brewery and walked to the restaurant Atomic Cowboy. (Good hamburgers, but not as good as Bob’s Atomic Burgers in my opinion.) The Golden City Brewery had grown since we had last […]

Arkansas City, Arkansas Area

April 18, 2024 On April 17, we went to pick up Bruce’s scripts in McGehee, Arkansas. On the way, we made a slight detour to Dermott, Arkansas for BBQ. We stopped in at Dermott BBQ. The BBQ was good, but not as good as Hoots in McGehee. Dermott is a town that has seen better […]
