We have enjoyed the wonderful experiences my husband’s Civil Service career has afforded us over the last 35 years. Rose stayed home with our 3 children and homeschooled 2 through high school and is currently enjoying High School again with our third child. Living in Arkansas, Alabama, Virginia, Maryland, Texas and Germany has given us ample opportunity to explore many parts of our country and extensive travel in Europe. Whether in local attractions, natural beauty, the food or people we’ve met along the way, we have always found the ‘happy’ in every location. As we near retirement, we were excited to find a slice of ‘happy’ on Lake Hamilton near Hot Springs, Arkansas.
