Cox Ford Bridge

This is the Cox Ford Bridge in Parke County, Indiana, built in 1913 by J. A. Britton.
We try to always carry our rods with us...Roger threw his line in but did not have any hits.
This is looking up Sugar Creek...a beautiful place to be.

We used to come here and wade and fish...now there are signs that no swimming or wading is allowed, and inform that violators will be prosecuted.

I am getting ready to hang out clothes! Supposed to be close to 50º F. today...I had to wash my tennis shoes since I had walked along the sandbar and my feet sank above the top of my shoes. So I always wash them with towels...figured it would be a good day to hang the out.

The cats are wanting us to come outside and play and I am not joking. They won't go out alone, but when I went out to wipe down the clothesline, all three came out to see what was happening.

Life at the strip pits

I ran out to the strip pit area night before last to see what I could see....as you can see by the photo below we have had some cold weather.
If I had to title this photo, I would call it Teepees on Ice...just reminded me of an Indian village if I use my imagination.
There were several geese out as the sun started to set...I suppose they were coming in from the fields.
I am not sure if the above will show on your computer...it is very dark at best. So I hit the auto levels button and got the bottom photo...not your greatest photo but it shows the geese better.
I always wonder what they have seen in their travels to get here.

It is supposed to get up in the high 50's today...I am trying to make up my mind if I want to stay home or want to get out and go while the going is good. I actually wish I could do both, cause I really feel like staying home, yet I feel like we should take advantage of the nice weather and get out while the getting it good.

Pose! While I take your picture...

Someone got Lorelei a toy camera for Christmas...this is how she has us pose when she wants to 'take' our picture. Sarah has no idea where she got that this is how you are supposed to pose...she makes us lean our heads to the side and pucker our lips! Just so hilarious.
And remember how I told you she wanted everything pink and wanted a pink princess Barbie...
well, how about a pink princess Lorelei...oh, and by the way that is what she calls herself sometimes...
Like any good princess, she loves chocolate!!! I think it so funny, one little taste when she was maybe a year or so old, and she was hooked. Notice her princess dress came off before she was given the chocolate.

She was sick again over Christmas...I don't know if you can tell in these pics...well, the top one was taken January 2....but the other two were at Christmas...I still think it shows in her eyes in the one above.

And the one of her in her princess outfit..she did not want me taking pictures--I took the one and she was like 'no more, Mamaw.' I did not force the issue...but you can just tell that she was not feeling good...normally she loves having her picture taken.
