Four years an Arkie

Today is the fourth anniversary of the day I became an Arkansas resident.

Oct. 27, 2007 was the day I loaded Pete and Ruthie into a single kennel in the back of the Subaru and made the seven-hour drive from Thorntown, Ind. to our new house between Buck Snort and Goobertown.

I shot this photo on I-74 somewhere east of Champaign, Ill.

I made a few more trips back to Indiana for odds and ends and to oversee projects at the house, but I no longer considered myself an Indiana resident.

We had a TV, a computer, and an inflatable bed, but the pods containing our furniture wouldn’t be delivered for a few more days.
