So I went home to Southern Indiana last weekend.\u00a0 I took somethings down to hand over to others.\u00a0 I had some administrative things to do for my sister.\u00a0 I hadn’t been home in over a year now.\u00a0 Seemed strange.\u00a0 But with Dad gone, I just hadn’t found a good reason to make the 6 hour drive.\u00a0 OK, 5.5 hours the way I drive.<\/p>\n
The weather was actually nice.\u00a0 It was in the 70s and 80s without the awful humidity.\u00a0 I got to see my friend, Kay, and spend some time with them.\u00a0 Her husband, Don, is my favorite jokester<\/span>.\u00a0 My favorite line from this visit was, <\/span>“Have to take her with you because too ugly to kiss good-bye.”\u00a0<\/p>\n I attempted to go to the New Albanian Brewing Company, which was just up the street from where I was staying.\u00a0 It’s a converted firehouse that they’ve made into a restaurant \/ pub.\u00a0 I hear the beers are good and the reviews say the food is good.\u00a0 I just couldn’t catch a good time to go when they were open!\u00a0 Maybe next time.<\/p>\n I went out to the cemetery<\/span> to drop off flowers and visit.\u00a0 Back in May, a pretty good sized tornado went through Henryville<\/span><\/span> and Marysville<\/span><\/span>.\u00a0 Marysville<\/span><\/span> was pretty much removed from the map.\u00a0 Not that\u00a0there wasn’t much to remove to begin with, but it was pretty empty.\u00a0 My cousins’ maternal grandmother had lived in Marysville<\/span>.\u00a0 That entire row of houses was gone.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n In the Barnes Cemetery<\/span>, there is a visible path where the tornado went through.\u00a0 My grandparents stone had to be reattached.\u00a0 My parents’ stone had been moved off its base, but was pushed back into place.\u00a0 The trees on the backside of the cemetery<\/span> are all missing the tops out of them.\u00a0 I lost count of the number of logging trucks we saw in the area.\u00a0 It’s a big clean up job all around there.<\/p>\n So on Monday, I drove back to Chicago.\u00a0 I ran into one really big storm with lots of rain and a couple of smaller storms.\u00a0 Still no rain here here at\u00a0the house though.\u00a0 Still dry.<\/p>\n So the guys now call Sascha Honey Badger, coz \u00a0Honey Badger don’t care.\u00a0 Because Sascha doesn’t care much what you do to her as long as you pet her, they’ve given her that nickname.\u00a0 It’s probably going to stick, too.\u00a0 I hear her being called Honey Badger all the time now.\u00a0 Poor baby.\u00a0 She’s still my Sascharrini<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So I went home to Southern Indiana last weekend.\u00a0 I took somethings down to hand over to others.\u00a0 I had some administrative things to do for my sister.\u00a0 I hadn’t been home in over a year now.\u00a0 Seemed strange.\u00a0 But with Dad gone, I just hadn’t found a good reason to make the 6 hour […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zurekbrau.com\/blogs\/richsblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1206"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/zurekbrau.com\/blogs\/richsblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/zurekbrau.com\/blogs\/richsblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zurekbrau.com\/blogs\/richsblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zurekbrau.com\/blogs\/richsblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1206"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/zurekbrau.com\/blogs\/richsblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1206\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1210,"href":"https:\/\/zurekbrau.com\/blogs\/richsblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1206\/revisions\/1210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zurekbrau.com\/blogs\/richsblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zurekbrau.com\/blogs\/richsblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zurekbrau.com\/blogs\/richsblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
