October 9th, 2011: We took Virginia down to Bloomington for a visit with Charles and Tessa. Tessa served a scrumptious yellow pepper soup for a starter course and a wonderful tomato and cheese tart along with a spinach salad with orange dressing for lunch. I really think she and Charles should consider opening a restaurant -- "Gourmet to Go".
October 5th, 2011: Virginia and Jean met for a nice visit. Janet and I tagged along as designated drivers. Janet had booked us in at the Sandpiper Inn B & B, Union Pier. It was a great place to stay. Weather was ideal. I found it hard to believe that we could drive a little over 3 hours from Indy and be looking at water and beachfront for as far as you could see. And no one else was there! We visited Fernwood Gardens as a side trip.
