Meringue Cottage sat overlooking the trees and in the distance the lake was visible.  It had a wooden deck right at tree branch level which gave us an ideal vantage point for squirrel watching and the low windows were perfect Scottie height.  We had plenty to entertain us while our pawrents explored the craft fairs and the Victorian town of Eureka Springs. We went on walks every day, took a car ride to the lake, and stopped in at our old park to walk across Billy Goat Gruff Bridge. We saw an old dinosaur park that had life size replicas; it was closed but Mom told us about the time she had brought human sister there when she was little.  Arkansas is a great state to visit. ~ Indy and Lucy

Fall is a perfect time for a road trip.  Since our favorite camping spaces were  filled, Mom decided to rent a cottage ( we do this a lot if we are staying any length of time).  She located one outside of Eureka Springs close to Beaver Lake.  It was called Meringue Cottage and we knew why the minute we opened the door-we were immersed in vanilla.  ~ Indy and Lucy

Our family loves to visit Arkansas, a neighboring state.  Fall is a favorite time to go because of the brilliant color changes of the leaves. Before we were born, our pawrents took first Scottie Sophie camping in a beautiful state park there every year.  We were not a year old when we went for the first time.  Taking walks, having campfires were cool and there was something to bark about every time we looked around. We stayed in a cottage on a nearby lake last year because we couldn’t get a space at the park but more about that later. Anyway, Mom and Dad decided to sell the rv this spring so our glamping days might be over but not our visits to Arkansas. ~Indy and Lucy
