November 2021
We took a nice Fall hike in
early November at the Tangeman Woods. The trail meandered through the leaf-covered
hills and hollows of Brown County, among large hardwood trees.
We’ve had some very enjoyable
outings with friends and family during November. We had a family camp-out at
Clifty Falls State Park in Madison, Indiana. It was a cold weekend but we had
our cozy campers and we had a nice lich at the Clifty Fall Inn.
For Thanksgiving, we joined
Kim and Glen for a good Thanksgiving meal at the Cracker Barrel, in
Edenborough. We had a nice outing with and I bought a new winter hat.
December 2021.
The first week-end in December,
we attended the Columbus Christmas Parade, on Washington Street, in downtown
Columbus, Indiana. On a cold night, the Christmas lights, bands, floats, and
vehicles, made an entertaining and joyous parade.
We attended the Columbus
Symphony Orchestra for a nice winter and Christmas concert. The performance was
held at the downtown Columbus Commons, a very nice entertainment venue.
We have also continued an
inside painting project for the rooms of our house. It’s looking impressive and
we expect to finish it before Christmas. We are continuing several other
home-improvement projects, which will extend into 2022. Fortunately, we bought
this house at a price which has facilitated our improvement plan, promising a
profitable return on the market price.
Our next trip will be a
thirty-eighth Wedding Anniversary trip to French Lick. (Dec. 27-29). French
Lick sounds like a strange place to celebrate an Anniversary but it’s a place
we have wanted to visit for a long time.
The main attraction is the incredible
French Lick Springs Resort, located in French Lick, Indiana. It features a
variety of venues for entertainment, dining, spas, and gorgeous Christmas
decorations, all in the luxury hotel. French Lick was originally a French
trading post built near a primeval spring and salt lick. A fortified ranger
post was established near the springs in 1811. The sulfur springs were
commercially exploited for medical benefits starting in 1840. By the latter
half of the 19th century, French Lick was famous in the United States as a spa
town and attracted people from the eastern States. Can’t wait to see and
experience the place!
Now, this concludes our 2021
and we look forward to beginning our 2022. Hope all you friends and family
enjoy reading our travel logs!
