I would love you all to meet a friend of mine who inspires me to keep loving life and to keep working hard. Dinabel/ Dinsky Rn who used to be my workmate in a Nursing School now based in New London, Wisconsin. She makes makes me realize that indeed, "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single
step".

| Dinabel and I- Vigan City, 2011 |
Keeping in touch is easy with technology and I was so happy to learn of her recent fishing trip to Horseshoe Bend Arkansas. Sharing with you her photos of re-visiting Arkansas which she graciously allowed me to post here. Thank you so much Dinabel!

Dinsky in Arkansas
Dinabel immensely enjoyed riding up and down the hills and looking at the green scenery.
The City of Horseshoe Bend is a great place to go fishing, boating and swimming. I would love to ride a canoe too!
A view of Crown Lake, Arkansas by Dinabel
Around 2.2 miles from Horseshoe Bend, Crown Lake is a reservoir where one could enjoy catching fish of different variety like Bluegill, catfish and Crappie. Did Dinabel catch any? Let's see!
A peep into the full moon as she waited with friends for early morning, the best time to fish!
keeping themselves warm
fish just wanting the bait...
Dinabel was patient until...
whoa, looks like a catch!
woosh!!!
catfish there you are!!
Dinabel with her freshly caught catfish!
"Hi there fishy!" Looks like my friend had a blast!
Dinabel saying- "Thanks Karen for an awesome weekend get-a-way — with Karen's Kitchen inHorseshoe Bend, AR."
Those smiles certainly show what an awesome time one would have in Horseshoe Bend! Can't wait to one sweet day visit the place too....
Headin' back...
Passing thru Licking..... so green
Dinabel at 17th Street Bar & Grill
Dinabel says they surely had an awesome time in Arkansas but on the way home they passed through a thunderstorm.
Her friend Jo to whom she is grateful for having invited her to the trip says she is glad they made it home in
one piece driving 25 miles an hour with 60 mile an hour winds...indeed that was a great adventure!
Dinabel says her friend Jo is a great driver to which I so agree.
Passing thru severe thunderstorm — in Springfield, IL.
Then they were back to Wisconsin, back to Reality — in Madison, WI.
and speaking of HEALTHY LIFE as printed on the truck they saw along the way..
...back in Wisconsin Dinabel got the chance to eat the yummy fish she caught!
She caught four fishes and a friendly neighbor helped her turn it into a sumptuous fillet! I would love to have had a taste of it!...and to have gone fishing at Horseshoe Bend too!
Dinabel with friend Joann
Their happy gorgeous faces makes me want to see Arkansas soon!
Thanks for the awesome virtual tour Dinabel and Jojo!
