Weekend Activities
The weather was a surprise! Turns out it really didn’t interfere with outdoor plans. Saturday we invited Aunt Gloria to go with us to meet Rachel for lunch in Greensburg (half way point). I was surprised - she accepted right a way saying “I’d love to see Rachel!” - but who wouldn’t! Rachel and she bonded over the frozen dinners we had prepared for both of the them - our own meals on wheels. Aunt Gloria seems to be getting into the idea of the painting class she and I are enrolled for. She said she enjoyed being around young people and it felt good to laugh (Rachel had brought a friend ... but not THE friend). I wish it were as easy to get Dave’s dad to do things!
Today Dave and I plan to go over to Ft. Ben for the first Hoosier Outdoor Experience. They have exhibits and demonstrations of the many outdoor opportunities.
We are still checking flights to Hawaii - comparing seats available if we land on the Big Island vs Oahu - have plans A thru Z (although plan Z is turning the thermostat up to 80 and watching Hawaii movies and listening to Carol’s CD’s). Seats still look good for me to go to Akron on Wednesday also.

We did go pick apples on Saturday at Stuckey Farm, Empire (red) and Golden Delicious. Delaney made apple cobbler when we got home, all gone now!
Sounds like a nice weekend for you Maureen. The Fort Ben deal - I have read about the geocaching, it’s quite the thing now. Hope you get your flight to Akron tomorrow!
Ella has been sick since Saturday afternoon - 101 fever, aches, no appetite etc. The doctor wants to see her tomorrow if her fever is still high.

The experience at Ft. Ben was a nice activity - I wish we had kids who we could have taken. There were quite a few hands on activities and also booths - birding, animal pelts, disc golf, team building challenge course, canoeing, hunting, fishing. We got information on orienteering and there is a relatively new sport called geocaching in which you go on line and get coordinates to a treasure and using your skills - go find it.
I am going to the airport tomorrow (Tues) with hopes of getting to Akron.
