Judsonia Arkansas bridge

This old picture of a bridge just says that it is near Searcy Arkansas. I'm thinking that it is the bridge that connected Judsonia with Kensett without folks having to drive miles around. If so, it is the bridge that is now closed with the county trying to find the money to make repairs. Being in Judsonia the other day, I took this next picture.

Old Judsonia Bridge

I can't tell for sure if they're the same. But here's the greatest photo of the bridge that connects. It is a professional photo taken by Fred Garcia and is on First Security Bank's calendar this year. The calendar features bridges across the state. This reads Judsonia Bridge - White County. Through truss bridge with center swing span over Little Red River on CR 66 at Judsonia in White County. Built 1924 by the R. L. Gaster Construction Co. of Little Rock.

If I'm wrong about the bridges, correct me. And thanks to First Security Bank for a great calendar this year. I hope they don't mind my sharing this picture.

Heavy Snow Fall in Marion, Ar

It has been a long time since I saw that much snow in one day in Marion, Ar. It is so beautiful, and powdery, perfect for making snowball and snowman or snow anything. Kids don't have to go to school today, remember we are in Arkansas, snow day almost means no school day, haha. I know, I know, for those of you who live in the north, this is really nothing. You probably say, What? No school?

snow day

We continue to have on and off snow, sleet today, and I think it is raining outside right now. Maybe another day without school tomorrow. But I think we won't see this much snow for another long period of time.

DAR-Chocolate Celebration at Church of Christ in West Memphis, Ar.

YUM! That's all I have to say, haha. I went to this annual fund raiser for chocolate lovers like me to taste all chocolate goodies, all you can eat for only $5 advance ticket and $8 door ticket. Thanks goodness they them in small pieces, otherwise I would not be able to try so many of them. Check it out.

chocolate celebration goodies

goodies goodies

The event started from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, I couldn't get there till 2:15, so I thought there wouldn't be much left, but out of my surprise, they kept refilling those goodies as the platter went half empty till it reached 3 o'clock. They had water and coffee for you to wash down those goodies. There were like 10 round tables with 6 platters of chocolate goodies samples, all you could eat, you just kept eating as you go. They also gave you a small plate to hold the extra. And there was that chocolate fountain we couldn't pass on, there was strawberry, marshmallow, pretzels, chips, animal crackers!

It sure is a fun thing to take your family and children to go, chocolate just makes people happy! haha. I will go back again next year!

Exxon Service Station in Searcy Arkansas....or it WAS in Searcy Arkansas.

Exxon Service Station

We once had filling stations/service stations on every corner of Searcy Arkansas and other towns across the country. They're dwindling.

Here's one that is gone. I'll let you see if you know where it was, Searcy readers, and report back to me. A hint. The house in the picture is still there. It looks like one of the old Sears Roebuck houses that was a mail order house. I did a blog on another one or two in Searcy and this one is similar.

This photo was taken by my son back in the 70's when he took photography for a project in 4-H. I'm not taking a picture of what's there now because.......well, you can tell me.....

While you're refreshing your memory, you might as well see if you remember this sign, a picture that he also took. Yep, gone now.....
