Happy Birthday America 💙

Stopover in Denver from Indiana, omw back to CA.

Was supposed to do the Joliet 5k with     Zengal79 that was a no go, so then we did a meet up for the Fourth. Stayed with her and her son

Had a Blast: did a stir fry 1st night, did hikes daily.

She was an excellent Tour Guide😊 schlepping this old guy around

Her family goes back 11 generations in the US

Did a 4 mile walking tour of Greenfield Indiana

QoL on, Fight on, Laugh on and Live on

Yes, she was a wonderful host and YASS we had so much fun. I knew that we would, LoL, She's pretty crazy, unlike me who's just a quiet, calm presence 😜

Hope that all is well with hubs, say "Hey" to him from me

QoLing til I can't

Much Aloha Sis

great looking trip buddy, the pictures great too. Best tho was Zengal79 , looks like both of you were having fun. Brings back memories.. a trip down memory lane. Been to French Lick several times , I lived in Connersville and near Orange in s.e. Indiana up until I was 12. Born in Appalachia but moved to Indiana for a better living conditions. Connersville had several manufacturing plants that offered reliable work.

Fun holiday post big guy and Zengal79 , looks like big smiles on both of you ( I hope you hit Randy up for a freebie exam while you had him trapped at your house 😂😂😂 )

Nice 4th holiday QOL post buddy.

❤️❤️❤️

It sure was a wonderful time out there, had never seen acres of crop as far as the eye can see. The fam still has a farm and she took me there and Wow, like 500 acres!! Loved just being a tourist and able to gather in all of the scenery. The Brown County State Park was especially awesome with such beautiful really tall old growth trees. She said that she wanted to take son to see the Sequoias, I replied that I was down, of course

I keep on QoLing

Luv ya Bruddah Kal

I was there in the late 40s early 50s more or less. Right after the war it was a run down small town. the hotel / springs about all I remember as a little kid.

what I saw back when , contrasted against it being the “ fun destination “ that it has become now. Kinda a local entertainment capital of sorts. I recently saw an outdoors show about it and mostly the area hiking trails and adventures surrounding it. A whopping lot of entertainment development has taken place there. Pretty impressive to see. A great location for QOL fun.

dockam in reply to Kaliber

Yes, so impressive, was a lil disappointed that the Atrium was closed due to hail breaking the roof glass photos.app.goo.gl/BKJahTSXC...

But it was still a beautiful place to experience

QoLing on

What wonderful adventures! And how wonderful to see zengal! You look fabulous my dear! Happy to see she's still jeep ducking! Thank you Randy for the QOL pictures. I love your spirit and your huge heart!

It certainly was wonderful to do a bunch of QoL things with her😁. She's a lovely, kind, and hilarious lady who's gone through her own life stuff :-(, but she soldiers on, like most of us on HU. You're so welcome for the QoL albums, I really dig doing those. I got to duck my 1st Jeep Jeep

Mahalo nui loa for the love and support💙

Much Aloha - Randy

Sorry the 5k didn't work out, but it looks like you two got your mileage in anyway. Hope you got a ride in the jeep with the top down.

dockam in reply to Carlosbach

Yea, she just had a procedure done and wasn't ready for it, we are maybe gonna do San Diego in Sept tho - fingers crossed 😁

Oh yea she had that Jeep top down a lot, crazy weather tho out there. like Bipolar LoL

That's not an open container that you see😜

QoL on

Luv ya CB

Randy

Great to see you both, only sorry that we missed you two at my 75th B-Party. Perhaps will catch up with you on a future trip to Cali.

Love the positive spirit of you and Mandi

dockam in reply to Scout4answers

Yea :-(, was looking forward to meeting you two in person💙, but 2024 Joliet ZERO 5k is a possibility.

Ohh, a trip out to CA? Dunno if San Diego in Sept is a possibility 😂 that 5k event is on 09/16 and Zengal79 is tentatively down for it.

Mandi and I were Feelin Groovy:

I got no deeds to do, no promises to keep

I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep

Let the morningtime drop all its petals on me

Life, I love you, all is groovy
