My home town

Since we started taking annual Sister Trips to Florida a few years ago, I haven't been visiting Indiana as much as I used to.  So I made sure to detour through Pendleton on my way to meet up with Dewdrop in Kentucky.

Sadly, the town was hit by a tornado, the first in almost two hundred years.   And apparently, they didn’t think a siren was needed because tornados just don’t hit there…

Luckily, there were no tragedies.  I was glad to see the Falls Park lighthouse was still standing, even though it now had a tilted top.  Lots of trees were down, you can see an example of the mess in the right side of this photo.

There were tons of big, old trees fallen throughout the town.

The twister’s path damaged one of my sister’s and a niece’s homes, trees, and fences. But on the other side of town, my niece, Shelli, had no issues at all.  Her beautifully painted fence was looking great!

Cool, isn’t it?

She says she got the stencils off of Amazon.  It is a unique look, I really liked it.

I also really liked Kevin, Shelli’s grand dog.  He is doodle-riffic, and every bit as cute as his cousin, Sugar.  

While in Indy, I had a chance to catch up with family I don’t see often enough. And to make plans for the next Sister Trip.  This time, we are including my sister’s daughters, and making it a Big Girl/Little Girl Trip.

We are going the week after A Snowbird’s Song, and November just cannot get here soon enough for me!
