Yesterday we came to Indiana to visit my Mother and my sister Kathy. It took most of the day to get here, due to the lack of direct flights from San Diego to Indianapolis. The difference in time zones makes it seem longer. At least Indiana has pretty much decided to join the rest of the world on daylight saving time. The farmers have been resisting for years, and this is only the first year that they’ve decided to do it. Arguments continue.


Today we went to the Knit Knack shop somewhere in the middle of the state. Flo has been learning machine knitting and couldn’t resist the chance to stop in. It’s not like there are lots of shops devoted solely to machine knitting. I’d have guessed that only the internet let them operate in the midst of Indiana, but apparently they’ve been going for 30 years. We forget that mail-order has worked well for a long time.


On the way back, we stopped at the “Seven Pillars of the Mississinewa” Just downstream from the Mississinewa Lake. They may not bring wisdom, at least not directly, but they are interesting. Interestingly enough, the little park by the side of the river was named after the Miami Indians. It was certainly a long way from the Miami I think of.

It was a very nice day. There really weren’t any “high spots”, either in the day or the topography, but it was all very pleasant. Oh, yeah, we saw a lot of corn, too.
