Three Busts
Once we arrived at the first destination in Indy and found the car sold our day looked bleak. After the drive and finding out this information we decided Cincinnati would be our next try.

Life-Giving
How do things happen in life? Is there a rhyme and reason? Or like supposedly smart people said, the Big Bang Theory just happened? Which one do you believe?

A Memory of My Rose
March 20, 2020 is a date I will not easily forget. Not very long ago was the third annual marking of our loss. Early that morning our Rosemary died, without any of her family with her. All thanks to the Covid restrictions put into place only about a week prior. This afternoon all of it…

Spring Time in Indiana
Today has been a gorgeous day in Southern Indiana. On a drive south on 41 headed to Vincennes, I lost count. We must have passed our way down and back up at least 5 different tractors getting ready to plant. Like they say, once a farmer’s daughter is always a farmer’s daughter. I cannot pass…
