don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem

Watching the sunset and driving with my cousin and her husband through Missouri and passing a town called Peculiar, I found myself thinking, wow, I got myself here after years of saving and am now riding with cousins whom I didn't even know existed until a week before and now we were on our way to a town where my Dad and all his siblings were born, but also my grandfather and grandmother were born too - a town where my grandparents met and got married, a town that has so much history, family history at that. We were on our way to Little Rock and Conway, Arkansas.
