Croquet

Kelley restored the croquet set that I played with growing up. It looks really good...he did a great job. The kids have never played croquet before and it has been many years since Kelley and I have played. The course Kelley made was golf course quality. We had a fun time and Dalton won!!!

A Compliment

Today in Madison's math class, her teacher, Mrs. Gavrilescu said,

My Dad taught me two things:

1. If it's too good to be true, it is.
2. Only befriend those who know what's going on.


Then a boy in her class spoke up and said, "Madison, will you be my friend?"

History Lesson

We decided to trek not too far from home and learn a bit of history.

We went to two covered bridges in Union County.

The Little Darby Covered Bridge



Treacle Creek Covered Bridge



Then, not too far from the bridges were two State Cemetery Nature Preserves

Bigelow Cemetery Prairie




Smith Cemetery





Our intent is to travel a bit more to see where these back roads might take us.
