We arrived in Charlestown just after noon on Friday. To our delight Mom and Melody were both home (Keith didn't tell them what day we would even get here) and Heather came by not long afterwards. We went to a very late lunch at Keith's favorite Mexican Restaurant and then stopped by the Library to look at the historical exhibit for the Indiana Munitions Plant that is located here in Charlestown. Keith's mom worked there twice, both times during wartimes. She saw several friends there and it was fun watching her enjoy herself - and being a bit of a history person - I enjoyed watching the video and looking at the massive amount of memorabelia that has been collected by the Historical Society of Charlestown.
This weekend was Charlestowns Founders Day Celebration, with booths, rides, and even a parade! We saw them setting up as we went to the Restaurant yesterday. Then looked at the 97 degrees on the thermometer before deciding that we really weren't up to a visit. It worked out very well tho' as we had company almost as soon as we returned to the house. Keith's youngest sister, Joy, and nephew, Tim, came by. Then Heather went and got her new bundle of joy, Precious! Here is Joy meeting Precious!
This morning was the Parade. BUT, the temp at 8:30 am was 85 so Keith and I just napped a little longer. Actually, we had heard that the forcast was for it to be even hotter today than yesterday, so we pretty well knew we weren't going to go and stand out there to watch it. But then, if we had, we would've missed the next visitors.
Dolores and Kenny came up from Shelbyville and we got another photo. I sure wish Joy could've been here for this photo event also. Try as I might - I can't get all the siblings together for a family photo! Maybe I'll get S'te to photoshop one for me!! :-}
