I've been hearing about your town's problems with flooding, Ann. Everything ok with you all. I did manage to get together with Arlene finally & was a nice leisurely, but excited few hours. I had a whirlwind day, shop;ping for a cook-out that night, but she had called me back so tried again, & then we managed to find a few hours to let me look through her Cemetery Inscription books she had at her house! Cool. And what a great homey place to visit, & spotted some wonderful birds on a feeder outside the window, that I'd never seen before, & found out we're both birdwatchers, so it was a great trip to OH all the way around! Just wish I had been able to get together longer that day! Oh well next year, perhaps!! Let me know how your summer went too? My kids are in school already, so summer is officially over for us, & back to the grind, as they say! My son, so far, is enjoying friends, & a girl's attention. She used to have a interest in him, or he had in her. Ah, young love interest!!

Being so close to the river some of the businesses didn't have flood insurance. Business owners thought they didn't need it because a couple of blocks were up high enough from the river. They haven't seen anything like this since 1913. > > My parents and I drove over to LaPorte last night for supper and we got caught in a bad storm. The wind was getting pretty bad by the time we got to the old Studebaker proving grounds and Bendix Woods near New Carlisle.
