*Man I’m HOT today! 3 Posts so far!!! But stuff keeps happening that is so extremely blog worthy and I have the time so let’s begin… Ahhhh, my wonderful family in Prairie Grove…. Actually, that was stretching it, like Peter Jackson did with Lord of the Rings. You know, a little artistic liberty to make more of a dramatic effect with the same facts. It’s more like my sister-in-laws'(Sarea Brockman) brother-in-law got arrested. Now if that isn’t Arkansas enough for you I just don’t know what is. Enjoy the picture and article!! (BTW, I posted this with permission from said sister-in-law who is NOTHING like her said brother-in-law) *

    OK, I’ve heard a couple of negative things from other people and let me say that this isn’t a surprise that he got arrested. He’d either been making or dealing meth for YEARS. Hince, my casual reference to his being arrested.
