We have a full house again with Mother arriving back from the nursing home on Thanksgiving morning! Praise the Lord for our many blessings ! There is always room at our table for you !

New Pictures

I just want to share some new photos of my great neice Izabella and my great cat Tropper greeting the sound of the alarm clock. Also, how 'bout a pic of my Mom in her Colts gear ?

It's all happening at the Zoo 11/10/2007

Here's some photos from another real adventure ! My young friend A and I had a "play date" over the weekend and took advantage of the beautiful weather to explore the zoo and meet the critters, large and small,who live in the zoo's authentic environments. We enjoyed the playful giant Polar Bear cavorting in his windowed pool. The ride on the train was a big hit; we saw the giraffes eating out of food dishes hung in trees and an elephant waving to us as we traveled by.

A really wanted to ride an elephant ! She has really wanted this since she saw children her age riding one at the State Fair in August. A applauded the train spontaneously when it came to a stop. Five rides on the carousel and a dozen trips down the slide in the playground seemed to take A's mind off of the elusive elephant ride.

A Day Back In Time

My latest adventure in my series "Wandering Indiana", a title lifted from the state license plate slogan of a few years back. The slogan was severely criticised, but of course, I loved it; so simple and to the point of what we Hoosiers do each day in search of fulfillment. Be it a shopping mall or a nature preserve, our environmental simulations turn to the inspiration we require.
Conner Prairie on an all but people-free October afternoon is just the place of inspiration for me. I wandered the villages and woods taking photos of the natural magic of such a special place experienced totally "in the moment". FYI, As part of the Spirit & Place Festival this year Conner Prairie will be open and free (reservations required) on Sunday,Nov. 11,2007. Peace, Beth
