Fall Colors in the Ozarks

When Mike and I left for the weekend for a short trip to Evansville, IN to visit his Mother and Brother, there was very little color change in the trees, but when we returned the colors had burst into flames.  The trees were a blaze of golds, burgundies, yellows and oranges.    
WOW!



Today Nov. 6 we pulled away from home base so to speak. We spend the spring and fall at Ozarks RV Resort on Table Rock Lake. Now we have put our lot to bed for the winter, the furniture is wrapped and the storage boxes are secured. We drove away about 10am and were headed to Little Rock, AR for the week

Summer Reunion Tour

Hard to believe September is almost half gone. Mike and I had a great time away from the Ozarks late July and the month of August. This summer we took advantage of several reunions. We began our stay at the Audobon State Park with a picnic for family that were in town for the LaMar Family Reunion plus my two sisters and a brother in law. Saturday, July 28 we drove to Lynnville, IN for the LaMar Family Reunion. Mike's mother is now 90 and her sister Jane is 87. The turn out was great and needless to say there was plenty of food. We spent the afternoon getting updates on everyones day to day happenings.

Next on the agenda, Tell City, IN, Mike and my High School Reunion of the class of 1962. We took a tour of the school which has changed a great deal from the days we walked these halls. All the additions are to the rear of the building preserving the original structure. Our Mom's and my Dad all attended this same school.






Next on our Tour, Lexington, KY,we decided to play tourist for several days. We stayed at the Kentucky Horse Park Campground. Here we took in the Kentucky Horse Museum, and the Horse Farm Tour where we were able to see Calumet Farms, KatieRich Farm and Keeneland Race Track. I can now say I've seen and touched a million dollar horse.  Kentucky being known for Horses and Bourbon we had to take in a tour of  Buffalo Trace and Wild Turkey Distilleries.

Next stop: Cincinnati, OH we would be visiting the Creation Museum which we heard about from friends in Little Rock, AR. If you are ever in the Cincinnati Area you need to put this on your list of things to do. IT IS A MUST SEE! We spent two days there going through the museum and attending speaker sessions of the day. We were very impressed and look forward to their next project: Noah's Ark, a FULL Size replica.
We also had opportunity to reconnect with friends and neighbors that we hadn't seen for 29 years. My camping experience began in Cincy, I will be forever grateful to the Presby Campers, a group from our then church who made the experience fun and memorable.

Our Reunion Tour Ended in Indianapolis. We attended the FMCA's 87th Family Reunion and Motorhome Showcase. We went to several Workshops learning more about our RV Lifestyle. We had a great time visiting Family and Friends. Below are some additional pictures.

We are now back in the Ozarks RV Resort on Table Rock Lake enjoying the cooler weather. We will be here until the first full week of November when we will begin our journey to Florida for the winter months. 
I am enjoying being back to meet with 9 very special women as we study God's Word together. They are such an inspiration to me. This season we are studying Nehemiah and Esther. Today we took a close look at what we learned about God, Prayer, and the Man Nehemiah from chapters one and two. WOW! God is great, awesome, compassionate, keeper of covenant, steadfast in His love, patient, faithful, slow to anger, hears our prayers, answers our prayers, and sees our life situations, only to name a few.
The Lord bless you, and keep you; 
The Lord make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; 
The Lord lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace.’ 

REMEMBER TO VOTE in November.
In Christ,
Suzanne

January-February Favorites



Sunday, February 12, 2012

Mike and I have had a great adventure in the Sunshine State of Florida this winter of 2012. We began in the Panhandle where we enjoyed Oysters on the Half Shell several times.  We traveled down the Gulf Coast to Homosassa where we visited the Wildlife Reserve. We enjoyed fresh fish from the Seafood Markets and fresh vegetables from the Produce Markets.

We have had the opportunity to visit friends, Juanita and John who moved to Florida in December.  Mike and Larry Hutsell met in Basic Training in Ft. Knox, KY back in the '60. Larry and Diana married after basic training in December and we have been friends ever since. We also have begun a new friendship with Bob and Janet Helms.  Mike and Bob worked together in the business world and now we hope to build a friendship outside of work.
