Ending Two Months Away

August 19, 2012  we headed towards Indianapolis, IN with two stops in between.  We spent the night of August 19, 2012 at Walmart in Ashland, IN.  This beautiful, well lit Walmart accepts overight RVers. Good idea as Roxie left them a generous tip in groceries purchased.
 

August  20 and 21 we parked at Deer Ridge campground in Richmond, IN.  This rv park provided a stopping point to be with our friends Cynthia and Nathan Colter for two days.  We never left and indulged ourselves in lots of walking and talking.




 


August. 23 the four of us caravanned to Indianapolis, IN for the 87th International Family Motor Coaching Association convention.  More than 2000 coaches arrived from across the USA.


 


 


 
Charles and Cynthia were a part of the band and chorus.  Directing was done by Lynn Gilmore.  Charles did organize a combo group to play light rock.
 
 

 
 
 
The Indiana State Fairgrounds is huge and our full hookup sites were a long way from the hub of the Fairgrounds. We biked to and fro and trams picked up those needing to get around. The fairgrounds buildings are most interesting with architecture of many styles.  We were there for 10 days.  At this convention we had time to attend a few seminars and we chose Joint and Posture Stability, Coronary Heart Disease, Living with Arthritis and Blogging.  Charles also got a handout for Strength Training.  Roxie helped Geeks on Tour with their Picasa Workshop.

August 30 we fell south, 330 miles, to our home in Franklin, TN.  We had left July 6, 2012.  The house next door is no more and the cleared land gave us an adjustment to seeing the large space.  We are now accustomed to the long view we have across this lot into the green fields below.
 

 
 
 

 

We found two of our Green Giant Arborvitae evergreens brown!  Dought had taken a severe toll on these trees planted in 2004.

 
We are spending these few weeks cutting grass and polishing off a long list of chores.  We leave September 27, 2012 for Gettysburg and York, PA for Charles to direct the Greater Eastern Area Maestro ensemble.  We will be home the third week of October.  You guess it…until the end of November when we return to our winter home in Leesburg, FL at Holiday Travel Resort. We always look forward to being among friends and neighbors, and indulging in computer and volley ball activities.

 

We left our home in Franklin, TN on July 6 and the grass was brown!!
