The Adventures of Don and Corrine

We had a fun weekend this past weekend.  For a little anniversary trip we decided to go to Nashville, Indiana.  Its a fun little town, a little tourist town in the middle of South Central Indiana,  but it was fun.  We explored the town, and just had fun in the little town.  We went shopping, then saw a show put on by students and faculty at Indiana University, we then went towards our hotel, in Edinburg, IN, which just happened to be next to an outlet mall,  so we went shopping for a while, and then had a late dinner. It was just a nice day.

Then the next morning we went over to Bloomington, to spend some time with some friends of ours who are on staff, at IU, and went to church with them and had lunch with them, so I was a fun day.

We had a fun weekend last weekend, May came down from OSU for the weekend, she spent some time in Cincy with a friend from the Philippines.  We played some Guitar Hero, on the Wii (an early anniversary present for Corrine), she and May played quite a bit.  I mowed the lawn, did a lot around the house.  It was a fun weekend, busy yet relaxing, its funny how that works together like that.

Corrine and I went to Ripley, West Virginia to the Parchment Valley Conference Center for the 2008 Foulk Family Reunion.  We went out there for the weekend, and Corrine meet a lot of family she never met before and I met some I hadn’t even met before, we had a great time.  We went on a wagon ride around the area, played games, had a bon fire, and just had a great time catching up with family.  Incase you don’t know my maternal grandmother was a Foulk, so this was a reunion that brought together all of her brother’s and sisters and all of their kids.  So I covers 5 generations of people.  So it was a lot of fun.  Here are a few pictures of the weekend.  Hopefully Foulks, will add some more to the Foulkfamily.org website, so check it out to see more.

On our way to the Reunion we saw a sign for Rio Grande, OH, and then a sign for the Bob Evans Farm, that is the location of the first Bob Evans.  So on Sunday afternoon on our return from the reunion, we decided to stop by and check out the farm, so we walked through the house where Bob Evans lived, and walked through where the first Bob Evans Restaurant was at.  So it was a fun weekend. Here’s a picture of Corrine infront of the mailbox and home of Bob Evans.

Last weekend Corrine and I went camping with Rob and Annie, it was a lot of fun.  We went to Clifty Falls State Park near Madison, IN.  We had a great time, we spent Friday exploring the area, and then spent Saturday, hicking and just playing outside.

Here’s a picture Corrine took of our campsite

Originally there was to be a railroad through the area where this park is, but as they were digging a tunnel (that we got to hike through) the company ran out of money, so the tunnel stayed, but the railroad is no longer there, and it became a park.

After some hiking we stopped for lunch at the bottom of the falls you can see here

(look really closely and you can see water) We then proceeded to climb our way out of this area, and then we went to the nature center where we got to pretend that we were turtles.

We have been spending quite a bit of time out in the yard lately working on the garden.  If you remember I have had a few posts about the garden, even a few pictures now and again.  Well we were out side last night after one rain storm before another one hit, and Corrine staked up some Tomatoes and we did some work on the beans and peas, and even did some work with the zucchini, so we think the garden might be coming along.  Here are a few pics I took with my cell phone, so I apologize for the quality.

Check out the difference of the Tomatoes and zucchini.

Here is a picture from last month. The first square is where the tomatoes that are in the next picture are located, and the 3rd square back is where the Zucchini’s live.

Garden in June:

Wait till next month and I hope to have pictures of the start of the bountiful harvest..  Check back for more pictures…
