Today we walked in downtown Evansville and we started later in the afternoon. It was still hot, of course. We wanted to explore the historic homes and some nearby streets. We parked at Chandler and Water Streets and let the wind take us where it would. We tried to walk mostly north/south and take advantage […]
Happy Fourth of July! It was a warm day here today, in the 90s and humid. Doesn’t that sound like the perfect weather for a long midday walk? Of course it does! With water on our backs and my lunch packed, we started on our journey. We parked as close to the beginning as we […]
We crossed the “money saving” bridge into Kentucky for our walk today. That phrase hails from our earliest days when we moved here thirteen years ago almost to the day. Gas is always cheaper in KY or at least it used to be before Costco came to town but that’s besides the point. Most of […]
We went to the AMC theater today. Unfortunately, it was closed. Fortunately, we were more interested in the destination than the movies themselves. Bill wanted to walk from our house to the West Side. He chose the AMC because it was the farthest destination from our home before USI. Google maps calculates the driving distance […]
Bill and I returned to O’Bannon Woods State Park today. When we went two weeks ago, we tried to reach the site were the scouts had camped, but because our time had been limited, we had to turn around before we reached it. That hike was only about five miles round trip. This time we […]
Holiday World opened today as part of Stage 4. It will operate at 50% capacity and will adhere to social distancing guidelines. Guests will have to purchase their tickets online for specific park dates and they will use virtual queues for rides. They have Holicash wristbands and Apple and Android pay to allow for touchless […]
My birthday adventure began last night with a drive to Louisville. I was given directions about what to pack but not about where we were going. I woke up under the birthday quilt, we grabbed breakfast and then drove east. Two hours later, we arrived at The Natural Bridge State Park in Kentucky, a place […]
With the kids gone this week Bill and I had a few days to catch our breaths. For the most part, it was business as usual. Bill worked and I took care of things around the house. Today he was off work and I suggested we go for a drive. Hemlock Cliffs is about an […]
Today was a divide and conquer day. The scouts had a hike on the calendar, Walker volunteered at a golf benefit for Camp Ondessonk and I had a service commitment for Mother to Mother. It was dark o’clock when the Bill and the boys headed out to Illinois. Walker spent the day helping at the […]
Living in Southwestern Indiana, surrounded by corn and soybean fields, we see our share of heavy farming equipment. Maybe for that reason or maybe just for the sake of curiosity and learning, Bill has wanted to tour the John Deere plant. Since we were already in the northern part of the State of Illinois, we […]
