We had a great time in Indiana! Friday night when we got there, Andy's mom had supper ready for us, We met Andy's dad, sister and her husband, and Grandma Jean. Grandma and Alair got along great. Saturday, we went to Amish places. Bought meat and cheeses and shopped. The flowers were just gorgeous. They take such pride in their gardens. Sunday we went up to Lake Michigan. Alair really liked playing in the sand. We were at the town of St. Joseph. It's reslly touristy but neat. Monday we went antiquing. Tuesday we came home. It's always interesting to see how other people live.

You never realise how much you depend on electricity until it goes out. Thursday we had a large storm and lost power for about 6 hours. The phones were out for a while also. Land lines and cell phones. I was supposed to make sheet cakes for a wedding on Saturday, but couldn't start that either. Alair really didn't notice once the black skies cleared some. She just played with her toys like normal.

Rachel came over for supper last night, She goes home on Sunday.I still don't have the cakes done. I do well under pressure.
