Recreated Village, Recreated Life

We're going camping in southern Indiana this morning. Spring Mill State Park has a recreated 19th century village, a working mill, trails, and a cave.

Did you ever go camping with a left-over buzz? I have. It takes the entire camping adventure to feel decent again. I couldn't wait to get home and kill my discomfort with a drink -- or two or three.

How nice it is, camping on these crisp autumn days! The leaves are just beginning to change color. Rocky, our little dog, is going with us. God, thank you for the beauty you created. And thank you for my sobriety.
