Patton's Corner in Indiana

Yesterday was such a beautiful day, we took a little rambling drive...most of which took place in Parke County, Indiana.
This is a little place out in the middle of nowhere. We have passed it numerous times but have never stopped and looked around.

Yesterday we did things differently...we pulled off the road and meandered around through the old implements and tools.

They were so close together that it was near impossible for me to get really good photos, but showing a few of them anyway.

They will at least begin to give you a feel for the place.

All of these photos will enlarge if you click them...they might look better that way but I am not sure.

I will be showing a few more shots from this place in days to come. I could go back there today and enjoy it. There was just more than I could take in. It is just there for you to look at...no one gives a tour or anything. There is a little house/shack that is just full of stuff. Again, could not take it all in.

A song for the playing...

When we were at Sarah's last, we were going somewhere. Sarah, Lorelei, and I were in the car and for some reason had to wait a minute on Roger. Well, Sarah put this song on, All Your Life by the Band Perry...which I would love anyway. But oh, you should have heard our Lorelei singing...she was shy, and didn't sing loud, but she knew the words and sang right along with it. Just such a sweet little voice. The memory of her singing it just makes it an extra special song now.

I am thinking she has a very good memory....cause her mom does not always have music going. I think mostly just when they are going somewhere.

Supposed to be a beautiful day. Temps are supposed to be a bit lower today and the sky is a brilliant blue right now. I am not sure what we are getting into, if anything.

Kids don't know what they are missing....

I don't know why, but every time I see an old truck, it makes me think of all the times I have ridden in the back of a pick-up. I completely understand why we don't in the fast pace of our world today, but it is a little sad that kids won't know what it is like to feel the wind in their face. I cannot remember the last time I seen kids in the back of a truck...

And I remember one time my brother picking me up at school...well, he was picking up another brother and me....plus there were at least two more kids, and even seems like more. But I can't for the life of me think who it would have been, and I don't know why he picked up the other two boys. But there were all of us in the cab of a pick-up. I still remember laughing and giggling.

Or there was the time he took at least three, if not four of us girls to our graduation....in the cab of a truck. Giggling and laughing all the way. And I think that is when he fell in love with my best friend. And yes, they did end up married...have been married for almost 37 years now.
