A Quick Trip to Indiana

Last week, we went to Indiana for a couple of days to see George's Mom, his brother Jim, and my sisters Sue and Jeanne.  In addition, George's other brother and his wife (Jack and Middy) were driving up from the Nashville area so we got to see them too.  YAY!

My sister Linda went to Indiana with us so it was a great opportunity for the four of us sisters to hang out together.

The first morning while I was sitting in Sue's
living room, I caught a glimpse of their horses
running around out back.  I jumped up, called
Sue, and we headed outside to watch.

I loved seeing them run...

...and hearing the thunder of their
powerful feet as they charged past us.

Sue said that they were
loving the cooler weather!
What a way to celebrate.
I might have to try it! 

George went to see his Mom and brother that day, and I spent the day with my sisters.  We went to Koodie-Hoo's (Sue and Randy's restaurant and bar) for lunch, and we ended up spending the afternoon there too.

Sue, Linda, and Janice 
(Sue's day bartender and our friend).

Jeanne was telling me "No, wait!"
but I snapped it anyway.
The look on Jeanne's face made me laugh!

Jeanne, Sue, Me

A nice man offered to take pictures of the four of us with my phone but unfortunately they were blurry.  It was as if I took them!  LOL!

This is a test of your imagination.
Can you tell what we'd look like
if the pics weren't blurry?


Lunch was excellent!  Koodie-Hoo's has great food!  If you're ever in Mt. Vernon, Indiana, check it out!

For dinner, we went to a local Mexican Restaurant called Tequila's.  It was really good too! 

On the way back, we stopped to see 
pretty Malia, Jeanne's daughter.  
She works at the Pizza Hut.  
It was wonderful to see her!

Then, we went back to Sue's house to act like goofballs.
We succeeded!
Of course, my pics are blurry!



Linda blurred this one up!
Yay!  I didn't do it.
It was a great sister day!  
We laughed and laughed and laughed, 
ate and ate and ate, and acted silly!  

The next day George and I went to Evansville to visit with The Kellers.  Jack, Middy, George, and I took Mom Keller out to eat at Jimmy Buffet's Cheeseburger in Paradise Restaurant.

Mom is a delightful 92 years old.  She loved the Tomato Basil soup and said it was the best she's ever eaten!  That's pretty darn good coming from someone who is 92.

On the way to the restaurant, the guys spotted RC Boat races!  So after we ate, they checked it out.
George and Jack are in this picture
working their way back to the car
after checking out all the folks
working on their race boats.

A very pretty green boat.

After watching from several locations,
we found the closest vantage point.

A group of RC boats!

It was super windy and sometimes
the boats would flip and break
 into two or three pieces.  
This rescue boat picked them up.

Keller spectators!

After the races, we bought Mom birthday presents, and hung at Mom and Jim's house.  They cooked up some yummy chicken and dumplings!

It was a very nice visit, and we're looking forward to taking Jack and Middy RVing soon!  Woo-hoo!

Sending Smiles,
