When I first emailed Mark that I'd be coming through Little Rock on my big Move to Maine, I asked him to recommend a hotel in Little Rock that was either close to his house or close to the highway and in a safe neighborhood. Instead, he offered his home. He told us to call him when we got to Benton, just outside of Little Rock. It was 8:00 when we got to Benton. If we had left by 2, it might've been 7:00pm instead, a more reasonable time for dinner. He said he had thrown together a chicken pasta salad and made an apple crisp for dessert. Most of Little Rock closes by 8pm and since it was so late, he figured we would only want something light and wouldn't want to have to wait. Wow. What a great host.
We arrive at his house around 8:30 and get to meet Yoyo, his cute miniature dachshund. After a quick tour of his beautiful home, we eat a lovely dinner on his back patio then come inside and enjoy dessert in his cozy living room. What fun to catch up and laugh and tell stories.
