2016 Summer (home) |
August 2016 Update
On our journey back from Florida to Indiana we spent
a few days at Charlestown State Park in southern Indiana.
This park is ten years old, very clean and
very natural.
Because it was early in the season, we pretty
much had the campground to ourselves.
We spent a day hiking (Bob’s first on uneven
terrain post-op), went into town one evening to watch the Pacers in the NBA
playoffs, and met some nice people from northern Indiana who were beginning to
think about full-timing.
It was a lovely few days.
We returned to S & H Campground near Greenfield, IN
in late April.
We were able to spend a pretty day at the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) for Grand Prix practice and reconnect with our
racing friends.
It turned very chilly race day, but we saw a
good race won by Simon Pagenaud.
.
We’ve been able to spend time with family, especially
our sons and granddaughters.
They have all grown so much since we saw them
at Christmas!
Bob worked at IMS during May and we were able to
attend practice a few times.
It was very special this year as it was the
100th
running of the Indianapolis 500; lots of hoopla done in a great way.
The race itself was fabulous and we enjoyed
sharing it with over 300,000 of our closest friends, especially Steve & Jan,
Brigette, Cassondra and Kareline.
Congratulations to Alexander Rossi for his win
as a rookie!
We spent a pretty day in downtown Indianapolis with
our older granddaughters, Shelby, Abby and Grace.
The girls and Grandma climbed to the top of
the Soldiers and Sailors Monument (Grandma rode the elevator back down!) and
enjoyed the beautiful view.
We walked along the canal and after lunch
visited the State Capitol.
A fun day for all.
Son Eric and granddaughter Nora shared the
Indianapolis Zoo with us (mom, Kristin had to work).
It was a pretty day and not too crowded; so
fun to see the animals through a child’s eyes.
The end of July we attended the Hondo Indy 200 at
Mid-Ohio.
It was quite hot and we certainly did a lot of
walking but it was a fun weekend with lots of track action in front of us.
Congratulations to Simon Pagenaud who is
really on a winning streak this year.

After ten absolutely fabulous years on the road, we
have decided to sell our wheels and buy a house, settling once again in
Greenfield, Indiana.
We just bought a nice little home on the edge
of town and look forward to moving in and making it ours soon.
We have enjoyed our time on the road, have
seen fabulous places in this great USA and meet so many wonderful people.
Each of you has made a difference in our lives
and we have memories we will always hold dear (and thousands of pictures).
This website will probably change in
formatting, but hopefully will remain for years to come.
Sincerely,
Bob & Kathy
