Home Again In Indiana

Pumpkins on door stoops, fall colors of red and orange and willy-worms slowly crawling across the country roads, yes it was Indiana in October. And, I hardly noticed the low 40 and 50 degree temperatures. Well that may not be totally true, but it did feel like “home”. That’s because our Bicknell friends at Word of Life Church always treat us like family.
Kelly with our hostess Aunt Rita. We ate at the Kerusso Coffee Shop, an outreach ministry of the church.
The missions conference was great, and we’re definitely a good 6 lbs heavier from all the down home cooking of Aunt Rita and the other great cooks from the church.
The theme for their conference was “Show Them Jesus” and the youth did an outstanding job with several dramas.
Here are some of the Youth Drama Team called, "Impact"!
Getting to know our friends better
Even though it was a short trip we got to spend a little bit of time with Kelly’s mom and some friends of the family. Kelly’s brother and sisters will appreciate these photos since they didn’t get to join us.

It's the Birthday Girl and her Daughter, "Ice Cream Cake for Everyone"
All in all, it was a great trip. Of course, Kelly says the one thing that really topped it off was our flight home by way of Chicago O’Hare Airport. Why? Because he got to eat his Chicago Style Hot Dog, and he loved enjoyed every bite.
Yum ~ !
Too bad the temps weren’t better for you; at least you enjoyed sunshine while “home”. Maybe we’ll get to see one another on your next trip through the state?
Love to ya …

So, have you had a tenderloin yet? Maybe see you next week. Enjoy peak fall colors and sing a chorus of ‘Back Home in Indiana’!
Love, sister C
Great pictures -Connie – I enjoyed all of them – nice to0 have a face to go with the name “Aunt Rita”. It is still raining and temp is in the high 30′s and low 40′s with wind chills. Friends that are here from Cal. & R.I. are freezing. We saw the young man from S.C. at the Club last nite. We had dinner there. Still staying busy and on the go. But going to have to find winter coats for weekend. Love to ya – Momma Jean
We sure did have a tenderloin and it was delicious! It was a really great weekend…just too short.
