Elkhart, IN

We picked up our son, John, at the Indianapolis airport.  He decided to take a week off and fly in to see his brother and family.  We were coming through the area so it worked out well for him.

We are staying a few days here.  We only get to see the grandkids once or twice a year.  This is a treat for us.  The kids are so lovable and friendly.  They have been looking forward to Big Grandma and Pop Pop coming to visit them.  They stayed overnight in the motorhome with us.  It was a big deal.

Tomorrow the old bread truck goes in for a new windshield.  We made arrangements last week to have it done.  Elkhart is where many of the camping vehicles are built.  I knew someone would have the windshield in stock.  I didn't want to have to wait to have it ordered.

We will also go to the county fair.  The kids are excited about riding all the rides.  It is forecast to rain.  I hope it holds off until we wear the kids out.

The boys were out fishing last night.  They caught a couple of small bass which they released.  There are many young ducks swimming around on the waterfront.  One of them got tangled in the fishline.  They had to bring him in the house to safely remove the line from its wing.  It was tightly wrapped around a large feather.  After they got him free the kids pet him for a few minutes.  The duck seemed as interested in them as they were in him.  Of course they wanted to keep him as a pet.  We told them he would miss his family and needed to go back to the river.  They agreed.  The duck happily jointed his brothers and sisters on the water minutes later.
