Who Has More Fun than People

I'm a bit hoarse today after all the visiting we have done this week. It's been wonderful to see everyone!


Kathy, Debbie, Cindy and Denise

It's always great to reconnect with old friends as we travel.  These are some of my BFF buddies. We all met in Valpo on Friday for a nice Mexican lunch.

Friday night was a pre-gathering of Craig's Classmates for his 50th Reunion.  The picture below is of Ron and Craig.  Ron was friends with my brother, Bob and with Craig in grade school.  Ron was also a Groomsman in our Wedding.


Below is Don Carnahan and my cousin Dan Petrovich.


There was an unusual sunset as we drove back to the campground in Cedar Lake.



We started Saturday morning with getting some help from our two sons, Todd and Jeff on a few projects around the RV.  We started out with some eggs for breakfast followed by a piece of warmed Rhubarb Pie that Denise had made for us.  That was goooood.  Don't worry, we didn't use the hot sauce on the pie.

Three heads are better than one when it came to coming up with a way to change out some light fixture to work with LED bulbs.

There was barely room for Craig and Jeff to work on a small leak in the shower drain.  That turned into quite a project, but after nearly losing his breakfast over the smell in the old P-trap, Jeff conquered the leak.
We so appreciated the help in figuring out what to do with several plaquing issues we had been working on since buying the Class A in March.

We had lunch with my three aunts and my cousin and his wife.  It was a nice time of catching up.

We got back to the Motorhome in time to rest a bit and then get ready to head to the dinner and dance for the actual 50th Class Reunion.
 

We had a very nice time at the Reunion.  Saw so many old classmates and so many that we had NO idea of who they were.  Ha. They brought together the classes of 63, 64, 65 and 66.  It was a large turnout of around 250.  I'm hoping someone will post pictures of the reunion since I didn't even take one.

I took this picture Sunday morning of one of the many statues that have been placed around Crown Point.  I understand they are here just for a season and then will move on to somewhere else.  I took this because it was Craig's Grandpa Collins that was the Mason who designed and built the original concrete curbing around the courthouse.





 Crown Point is the County Seat, but the "new" courthouse is now north of town.  This old one has been restored and kept beautiful by the Crown Point residents.

We attended church today and had lunch with friends and we have spent the rest of the day resting our bodies and voices so we will be ready for the events of this coming week.

Blessings,
Kathy
