Touch a Truck
My co-worker Christie Kulavich and I took my daughter to Touch a Truck at Landmark Park on Saturday. (Really were just looking for a project to test the new audio recorder.) More than 30 trucks available for children to climb on and explore. A favorite activity - honking the horns. I can't say enough about this event. It was educational and so much fun. The kids - and parents - had a blast. If you have children, mark this down on you calendar for next year. We put together an audio slideshow of the event .... turn on your speakers.

It is paved except for a wooden bridge that crosses Lake Eufaula. We parked downtown on East Broad Street and entered the trail about four blocks from U.S. Highway 431.

Great deals at Master Gardener Plant Sale
The Houston County Master Gardener Spring Plant Sale opened this morning at 8 a.m. at the Dothan Area Botanical Gardens. Early birds got the worm at this sale. Peggy Ussery and I arrived about 12:30 and all the cherry and jelly bean tomatoes were gone. No rosemary, no mint, no black-eyed Susan vine. No worries. I still managed to fill a Radio Flyer wagon full of herbs, veggies and plants. (Love the wagons at the sale) The gardeners we talked too said a number of plants sustained heavy hail damage from recent storms. That may have reduced the quantities of some plants.
