When it rains

Indiana. When it rains it pours. I got out of my car yesterday and went into the grocery store. It had just started to sprinkle. It was just a quick trip to pick up a few things, it maybe took me about 20 minutes. When I went back outside, so much rain had fallen I had to roll up my pants.

Just one of the countless things I will miss about Indiana.

Missing Mona

Sister Perry AKA Rae AKA Rae Mona AKA Mona… turned 20 last week! Missing your kid on their birthday is kind of the worst. But, we made the best of it… drove to the lake and had a birthday party in her honor. Complete with pizza. And freezing water.

Happy birthday McKyla Rae, we miss you!

A rare day off

I doesn’t happen often.  But when it does, we take advantage of it.  Dad actually had a Saturday off work. We ran over to Bristol and hopped in the river for a kayaking trip.  We floated for a couple hours, saw tons of turtles, birds, etc and enjoyed every blessed second.

field trip thursdays

Field trip thursdays sometimes happened, and sometimes didn’t.  Some were lame because I didn’t plan ahead and some were pretty fun.  I think we all liked going to the South Bend Chocolate Factory.  And not just because we got to eat chocolate.  It’s always been intriguing to me to see how things are made. Didn’t disappoint.

golf golf and more golf

This has become a favorite family pastime.  We found this amazing little golf course about 10 minutes from home, up in Michigan.  It is a smaller course, never crowded, and pretty affordable, especially if you are walking like we do.  Being outside in the trees with the smell of fresh cut grass.  I mean, c’mon.
