We went, we ate, we shopped and we enjoyed the Covered Bridge Festival in West Central Indiana...It' about an hour and half ride from here but scenic this time of year and good winding roads with turning trees so why not???? We had fun and about every little town in the area down there does still have a covered bridge to celebrate..But Bridgeton the one sweet pea selected to visit also has a still operating mill that grinds corn and wheat into flour and meal to make the really good stuff we all like to eat..
It was last Sunday, that we attended, and it last all through this week yet so we may even go back possible as it is fun to see all the stuff the merchants come up with to sell at those places...especially the food...gosh sausages wrapped in a pumpkin pancake, biscuts and gravy, blackberry cobbler, pumpkin ice cream, I mean it just does not end and how much can one try in just one day, so maybe we do need to go back this week end....
But surely not Friday come to think of it as we have tickets to the Sarah Palin rally in Indianapolis....looking forward to seeing this gal that who knows maybe someday be President of our Land....were going and with camera of course..hope to catch a photo of her giving a famous "wink" and maybe even saying those famous words, "you betcha".....till then I will be still engrossed in shelling the corn that is so abundant this year...so abundant that the price is dropping like a rock and good news to food buyers and ethanol producers accross out great land...
Semper Fi,
Jack

My word. I am dieting and you just about made me gain weight just reading the blog. What about persimmin puddin?
I grew up in Parke County and have to go back every year :-) Did you get to see Sarah Palin? The persimmon pudding is in Rockville at the sisters shack on the south side of the square- Melanie was my Sunday School Teacher :-).
