Louisville/Southern Indiana (September 12-15, 2023)

We made a road trip and spent four days in the Louisville, Kentucky area as well as wandering some towns in Southern Indiana. Beautiful area and fast changing the past few years with a lot of new construction going up amid the old. There is a lot of history in the area. 

Weather was fantastic. Fun to see some old places as well, grew up in this area so always fun to revisit, and saw many family and friends. 

Thank you for visiting my pages!

 

Porchfest, Troy, Ohio (September 9, 2023)

Very cool event, went to "Porchfest". Never been to anything quite like it. Started with a high school band, then around the Troy, Ohio Historic District bands played in yards, and yes...on porches...in the very beautiful houses in that area. 

Was a great time, and a great variety of music which ran from noon to six pm. Seven bands at seven locations each hour. 

We had a wonderful time, and certainly will be returning to this event next year. 

 

Around Ohio (September 7, 2023)

A few sights of late around here, have been enjoying some wonderful days here in Ohio, and have been to some very nice places here. Its a fun state with a lot to see and do. 

Been warm of late, with a late summer hot spell, but cooler weather is coming up the next few days, and some fall like temperatures. Looking very forward to that, its one of my favorite seasons. 

I hope you enjoy these photos, and thank you as always for visiting my pages!

 

Return to Rising Sun (August 29-31, 2023)

My wife and me had a great time, as usual, in Rising Sun, Indiana. Photos at left and below are from Rising Sun (at the Ohio River) and Aurora, as well as Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Always a fun area to hang out and explore. 

Have to give a shoutout to "Hoosier IceHouse" in Lawrenceburg. Had lunch there, and it was outstanding. First time visit but not the last. 

We go to this area often, and it is one of our favorite places to visit. I hope you enjoy this short look, and thank you for visiting my pages!

 

Greene County Fair (August 1, 2023)

Great time yesterday at the Greene County Fair which is held at the Fairgrounds in Xenia, Ohio. Nice drive there, and enjoyed visiting with the people and the amazing animals to be seen there.

There was also a great selection of fair food and there were rides (well, would be later, they fired those up at 4pm which was after we left). 

Love Fair season in Ohio, and though this one is a smaller one, still remains one of the best and a favorite. 

 

Rising Sun Visit (July 25-27, 2023)

We made a trip to Rising Sun, Indiana, which is a favorite place to visit for us. Took these photos (the first three) in Aurora, Indiana which is one of the small towns in the area. 

Took the bird photos in Rising Sun, the Blue Heron on the Ohio River and the yellow bird during a walk around town.

It was a wonderful time as always seems to be the case there. 

 

Air Show Practice (July 21, 2023)

We did not go to the Dayton Air Show this year, due to come prior commitments. It is a damn fine air show and a lot of fun, but will be returning to that in 2024.

What we did do though, was to go to Hairless Hare Brewing in Vandalia, Ohio. Excellent food and very tasty beer can be found there. Being across from the airport, give a good view of the planes which were practicing for the weekend air show. 

Got a photo of the F-15 at left, and an F-16 just below that. At the bottom is a formation of F-15's. 

It was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed watching the fighters fly around. This is a great area for aviation and thankful to see sights such as these, and others while living here.
