Hi! How time flies when you are having a good time. Almost!

Sunday we took an afternoon drive. And as it happens----the drive just managed to go by Parksdale Farm Store and so what else to do but to stop in and get a strawberry parfait!
The line was as long as we have ever seen it. But, we are hardy and hungry so we waited.
And talked. Do we never talk when we are in line for something? The couple in front of us had to live in Sturgis, Michigan. Just across the Indiana border. His nephew happened to live in Anderson and worked for Delco. Does anyone remember the foreman by the name of Paul A? He was Ernie's foreman in Plant 11, and we knew his children. This gentleman, Paul's uncle, was going fishing with Paul this next week. The lady said they had celebrated their 60Th anniversary in Sept. We cannot go anywhere-------

Mon. we left about 7:45 for Webster and the 2 fleas. Ernie found the BIG sockets he had been looking for at the little flea market, and then we went on to the big flea market. Got some good buys on silver and headed home about 12:30. Tired. Lots of walking. At one booth a man said to the vendors, so you are from Indiana? Yes, Connersville and Marion. The man that asked was from New Castle, so I added that we were from Anderson/Middletown. Time for an Indiana party. Vendors were saying that people were just walking by and not buying. The vendors were not in the mood to bargain much.

Mon. evening we went to Lazy Days/Camping World to visit some friends. They were parked in the Camping World lot as they are to have work done on their coach Tues. When we left, the gate was locked. Richard and Ernie looked to find security and then decided we could squeeze thru the gate. We did and went on down the road. And came to another gate at Cracker Barrel.
(This area is a big complex, with a Flying J truck stop, Cracker Barrel and then Lazy days a big RV complex, and then Camping World. RV stuff store.) So we managed to turn around, drove around trying to find a way out and then called our neighbor to come get us. He said drive thru Camping worlds repair area and on out thru the campground. so, we tried it and it worked.
This time there was a security guard at the gate. Oh, Yeah, they close that other gate about
8 pm. And this was another adventure for the blog. Have a laugh and it is now time for bed.
We are home safe and sound. J.
