Been gone this weekend

.It's one of those rare Sundays when neither Sue nor I had any commitments or obligations.  So we played Hookey.  We had tossed around the idea of East Tennessee but for various reasons decided not to do that. So we headed east.  We have trouble finding a place within an hour or two we don't have some experience with.  One place neither of us had been was Nashville, Indiana

It's an interesting little town, but we were very surprised how crowded it was this early in the season.  So we wandered on down the road a ways to Columbus, Indiana.

We didn't near see everything in town, but it was fun and interesting.  OH! And if you get there be sure and stop by Zaharakos Ice Cream Parlor

Take time to explore the place.  Besides fantastic ice cream there is a museum and a shop and this:


We ended our Saturday staying Martinsville, Indiana at the Best Western.  For supper we went to Bynum's Steakhouse.
Sue felt there was something a little unsettling about a restaurant right next to the hospital (kidding, just kidding).  I guess it has to do with expectations.  We loved it.  Looking at Yahoo reviews this evening I see someone was distressed because "The waitress actually sat down at our table while taking our order." Obviously she's never been to Chilton's.  When you look up and the lights are made of deer antlers, just how "professional" do you expect it to be?

Sunday morning we went to church at Eastview Christian Church in Martinsville.

Bruce and the Jr High were leading the singing this Sunday  We felt right at home.  Rick Miller had a great sermon on Communion.  If you are ever in the area on Sunday morning be sure and stop in


We ended our weekend by a visit to the outlet shops at Edinburgh, then wandering our way through Bedford, Loogootee, and Washington then home.  Stopped in Washington for supper at Humey's BBQ, another great place to visit.

Got home to find the house was 60 degrees.  Seems the regulator feeding the furnace has a problem.  Fortunately we have alternative heat just for times like this.  WVHG will be here in the morning.

We did the same thing only we went south to see spring. You were in our back door. Southern IN has much to offer. It's always good to get away for a week-end. Linda
