6-20-2021 - Sunday (Father's Day)
We had a short drive today. We got on the road just after 9:00, crossed the Indiana state line at 10:40, and arrived in Ft. Wayne at 11:30. Joe dumped our tanks at the dump station, and and we were set up by 12:00, then headed over to meet Dixie, Jim, Rick, Lori, Lori's exchange student house guest Ani, and Cathy. Joe Myers had to leave yesterday when Bloomington got hit by a storm. He went home to assess the damage -- they had water in the basement and limbs down outside, but no major damage that he saw. He drove back up this afternoon, which surprised us all. Unfortunately, we missed Paul and Becky, they left at 7:00 this morning to head back to North Carolina.
Ever since we saw the camel in South Dakota, Joe has been looking for an elephant. We saw a rusty one the other day. Today, I found him a pretty one in Ft. Wayne. I googled it to make sure Ft. Wayne was where I saw it, and unfortunately, I learned that it a mastodon, not an elephant. Oh well.
We had a nice lunch with everyone, then went over to Dixie and Jim's house for the afternoon. They had to go to a graduation party, so Joe and I got a little nap in before they got back. That's when Joe showed up from Bloomington. Eventually, we went out to dinner, then headed back to the RV.
We only drove 147 miles today. It was very hot and humid when we got here, but eventually it clouded up and we had a little thunderstorm. Of course, we got caught in the rain getting into the restaurant, but it cooled things off, and the temperature is supposed to stay in the 70s until we leave on Thursday.
Happy Father's Day to all the fathers. You certainly deserve a day of recognition. Ft. Wayne is looking good, lots of green, flowers blooming, big trees. It's good to be back.
