Reunion Rendezvous & Lake Escape

It’s a blur. The reunion itself was a bust, but what else would I expect, going to a gathering for the class three years older? {Sister’s 50th, to which younger siblings were invited.} But the real party was at my friends’ spectacular, impeccably renovated 19th century home, complete with resort-grade pool. After a weekend of loads of food, family, and friends, Monday Jane, Rene & I (high school besties) drove up to Rene’s beautiful home on Crooked Lake in northern Indiana. Bike rides by day, beverages before sundown. Shipshewana is Amish country, where the faithful shun electricity and all things contemporary, and travel in horse-drawn carriages. Today (10/5) we head back south, preparing for the Hilly Hundred on Saturday, when the temps hit a high of 60. Brrrrrrrr!
