My love is hosting and I’ve gotten to do a lot of that lately.

I am currently gearing up this week to host a guest dinner for a repeat guest on his annual travels through Arkansas to Minnesota and return, our one and only grand-daughter’s first birthday celebration, and my fabulous bookclub that meets monthly. All this hosting between Saturday and Monday. I love every detail of the planning and preparation.

This past week I had the honor to host a guest returning to Heber Springs to celebrate his birthday. He reminisced about turning 16 and being given the privilege to drive the family car to Heber Springs, AR. It was his first return trip from many years ago but our small town made an impression and the trip was nostalgic.

Another guest this week visited Heber Springs, his short term home some 50 years ago as an exchange student from Sweden. We spent weeks conversing and communicating about his trip here for one week to attend his class reunion. I was intrigued instantly. This is what hosts love, meeting people from different places and making them feel at home and welcomed.

The short story is I have warm fuzzies over the short interactions, get to know you conversations over breakfast and relationships I would have otherwise never made. I was blessed to host these guests and I hope they were blessed to be hosted at The Lofts.

Some reviews make me smile. This one brought tears to my eyes.

Behind every beautifully made bed, every polished floor, every answered message, and every little detail is a prayer that each guest feels seen, cared for, and at peace while they’re here.

Casey and I dreamed of creating something special in this old building, but ultimately, it’s God who has opened the doors and blessed the work of our hands.

Hearing these words from two architects, who appreciate thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship, feels especially meaningful. It’s a reminder that excellence matters and that people notice when something is created with care.

I don’t do this for the reviews, but I’ll admit they’re a tremendous encouragement. On the hard days, they’re a reminder that the work has purpose.

Thank you to every guest who has stayed at The Lofts 3rd + Main and taken the time to share your experience. Your words are one of God’s sweetest gifts of encouragement to me. They keep me looking forward to welcoming the next guest.

One of the last public speeches John F. Kennedy ever gave was right here in Arkansas, and most people have no idea. 🇺🇸

On October 3, 1963, President Kennedy came to Heber Springs to dedicate the newly completed Greers Ferry Dam on the Little Red River. He spoke to a crowd of thousands, praised the project, and celebrated what it would mean for the region. Just 49 days later, he was assassinated in Dallas.

That Arkansas hillside crowd was among the last to see him speak in public before he was gone. Greers Ferry Lake exists today in part because of that dedication, and it is one of the most beautiful lakes in the state. So tell me: did you know JFK's last major public address was in Arkansas? Drop it below and follow Arkansas Underground for the history hiding in our own backyard. 👇
