Chad and Vita Come to Visit

October 4-5, 2008, well into the thick of Notre Dame football season, Chad and Vita visited and saw one of the best games of the season--ND v Stanford. (ND 28-21) We also visited Springhope Farm and picked apples and made a brief visit to the Lake on an increasingly cloudy, windy and rainy Sunday.

Fruit Harvest in Michiana

Although it was a very brief visit, Don, Joan, Mary Ann and Malinda pooled resources and drove together to descendupon Michiana to pick apples, peaches, nectarines and plums the weekend after Labor Day. Some of the visitors eluded the camera and the pictures here omit the pounds and pounds of apples we picked. The apartment smelled wonderful for days as ripening fruit filled the air with Ethylene Gas.

The also endured various other excursions such as a drive to Middlebury to visit a couple of the quilt gardens and enjoy an Amish dinner. Getting out of town to enjoy a restaurant is important on an ND football weekend!
