July 24, 2026 - It's been a busy summer! AG and UG are moving to Tablerock, so we went to help them pack up their house. We spent a lot of time packing, but we also had some fun at the lake house.
The weekend begins with a quick fireball
Golf cart rides
July 25, 2026 - Today we're headed out on the boat. It looks like it's going to be a perfect day on the water

Mirabelle would only drink out of Kev's hand

wings and a beer
bike ride home
trivia night with Mike at the Alley Cat
And Pickleball with Kev
They closed the Broad Ripple flood gate
And the Art Center grounds were under water
They said the Art Center had water in the basement, so at least it didn't affect the studios
The water under the pedestrian bridge was almost to the underside of the walkway.
The White river peaked at 21.18 ft, in Marion County, staying just below the 1913 flood record of 22.3 ft
Marott Park behind our house was flooded.
Aug 16, 2026 - It finally stopped raining and it looks like the river is slowly receding.
The river is still pretty high
And the debris under the Monon Trail bridge is crazy!
High Water
It's a foggy morning with all the standing water everywhere
Marott Park is going to be under water for awhile
Aug 18, 2026 - It's $2 Tuesday at the Indiana State Fair, so we're riding our bikes down the trail for a fun day at the fair.
Beautiful day for a bike ride
A new bench on the trail, that looks like the benches Kev made for Elaine & Ian. (with the added sun shade!)
