Great time with Pat & Ken in Terre Haute




Pat and Ken have a nice piece of property just south of Terre Haute, Indiana. They had electricity and water and a level spot for us to park just a short walk from their back door. It was a great place to stay and visit. Lots of good conversation, great food, and a little wine. One day we took a Sunday drive to see the covered bridges nearby. There were 39 of them in just one county. My favorite was a pretty red one next to a dam, waterfall, and grist mill. The drive itself was so pretty through farms, forests, and creeks. Along the way we had fun telling stories and catching up on each others lives.

Pat had an appointment at St Mary of the Woods, so John and I tagged along. St Mary's is a college and also the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Providence. The campus is beautiful with huge old trees and a wonderful old church with intricate stained glass windows. We walked the grounds while Pat had her appointment. On the way home we drove along the Wabash River which is the border between Indiana and Illinois. Very relaxing and a great catch up with family.
