This week I am in Indiana with my sister and two cousins.  We four girls are staying in a cottage on Lake Tippecanoe where we used to spend many summers together as teenagers.  There are such great memories here, and we are telling stories moment by moment with laughter and love.  The cottage belonged to my Aunt and Uncle and looks so much the same that it is truly like stepping back in time.  The cottage is the one story home in tourquoise that you see in the photo.  Last night we rode in the boat at sunset and went by the Tippy Dance Hall where I spent many moments dancing the night away.  It looks a lot like a white barn and is still lit up in neon lights!

My cousin Cheryl and I were always the ones finding some adventure.  This morning we went looking for fresh vegetables.  We found a roadside stand in front of a large farm where we purchased fresh corn and tomatoes.  YUM!  We wanted green beans and the two farmers said they had some in the field but no one wanted to pick them.

SO….here we are!…..picking our own green beans!! …. Making another memory.  Reminds me of the movie “City Slickers”!  I have never been in a big farm field before picking green beans!  Very fun! I am reminded of the first three lines of the poem “For the Traveler” which you can find in my previous blog….

“Every time you leave home,

another road takes you

into a world you were never in.”

I hope you love adventure as much as I do.  I think it keeps us young!
