 Today was another day driving around from town to town, hitting grocery stores and markets all in aid of averting boredom. Yes, though there are dozens of things we haven’t done and even more places we have yet to see, I think we are beginning to get bored with being here. After all this is our sixth time (or more) of returning to this area and we seem to be finding ways to the pass the time that are becoming repetitive. I know we are getting bored because we are eating constantly, all the wrong foods (a lot) and my clothes are getting tighter, definitely a bad sign.However, we have made some good friends this time around; there’s Barb and Jim, the other guests/Travel Supreme owners staying at the B & B, Dee and Don, new Travel Supreme owners from California who winter in the Coachella Valley and are staying at Pla-Mor RV Park nearby and Homer and Brenda the owners of the Scottish B & B. Tonight the eight of us went out for dinner to the Tippecanoe Place, a restaurant in South Bend and the former home of the Studebaker family (of the car and wagon fame). It is hard to believe this massive, impressive building was a former private family home and the rooms, woodwork and architecture were amazing; a real work of art. Dinner with our new friends was a hoot, we laughed our heads off and it was great to spend time with such an entertaining group. In a short time we have made some real connections and there is no doubt we will stay in touch with each other and get together (hopefully elsewhere) again in the future. I’d like to tell you that we are definitely leaving here this weekend but it isn’t going to happen. It is a long story and one I will explain later but at least with our new friends, the time spent here will go by much faster! In the picture from left: Jim, Barb, Brenda, Homer, Don, Rick and Dee!
