We are back from vacation. We had a fun time visiting Arkansas, but it is nice to be back home and getting back to normal after a month of traveling.

Near Grandma Rachel's house in Damascus, we found this self-service honey stand. It worked on the honor system. You just put your money in a box and took what you'd payed for:
