While the little community of Westport may not be on most lists for a day trip, it is worth a drive to Westport to see a remarkable covered bridge. It was built in 1880 by A.M. Kennedy and Sons of nearby Rush County. The construction design is what is known as a burr arch and truss.
While a trip to Shipshewana is a little far for a day trip from Indianapolis, it does make for a great two day jaunt into the land of the Amish in north east Indiana. Shipshewana is in LaGrange County, about a three hour drive from Indy.

Make plans to spend the day at Friendship, Indiana when the Fall Friendship Flea Market starts. This makes a wonderful daytrip.

Everything imaginable can be found at this fun and friendly Hoosier flea market and antique show.
A little bit of everything can be found at this big yard sale!
The Riverside RV Park in Sevierville, Tennessee, is a near perfect park.
The Riverside RV Park and Resort is located in Sevierville, Tennessee, the hometown of Dolly Parton. Located a few minutes from famous Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, this RV Park is a true delight to use as a home base for a few days vacation in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.
Everything about this park is designed with the RV user in mind. The level sites have easy access. The 'back in' sites are set on such an angle that even a novice behind the wheel will have little trouble backing that trailer into place. The roads are wide. The gravel is well maintained with no ruts or potholes to contend with. Many pull-through sites are also available.
This park has a nice general store, arcade room, and of course a nice pool. The bath-houses are immaculate. The owners/hosts are about the nicest folks you will ever find. Kent Loveday and his wife currently are the owners/managers, having spent the last 23 years in this position. This is a family owned business, and Kent told me he is looking forward to his kids becoming the fourth generation to operate the park!
The park is bordered on one side by the Little Pigeon River. This calm, wide river is beautiful to view, and many of the campsites are located next to the riverbank. (There are also several cabins available for rent, and these face the river as well.) Kent told me that there is good fishing in the river. I saw several large bass jumping each evening. ESPN has actually taped some fishing show segments next to the RV Park.
One of the things we really enjoyed about this park was the lack of road traffic noise. So many RV parks are located next to interstates or busy highways that sometimes sleeping gets a little tough. This park, however, was very quiet. Each campsite has a good sized concrete pad complete with a picnic table. Fire pits are available next to the river, and of course firewood is available for sale at the store. The camp staff even has trash pick-up daily so you don't have to carry your trash to a smelly dumpster.
Kent Loveday is also a pastor. He puts on a church service each Sunday at 10:00 AM in the shelter house. His ministry includes supporting a local food bank and the support of an orphanage in Honduras. As Kent told me, he came from serving a church to "help out" for a while at the family owned RV park. Twenty-three years later he is still there!
If you are heading out for a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains, Pigeon Forge, or even Gatlinburg, Tennessee, you will do yourself a favor by staying at Riverside RV Park and Resort. Full hook-ups with 50 and 30 amp service, water and sewer are available. The free Wi-Fi is also accessible throughout the park. This is a beautiful park with very reasonable rates. Check out the website for reservations and other details.
Our trip to Tennessee! We had a blast and plan on going back soon.
Indy's Beef & Boards "9 to 5 The Musical" hits it out of the park!
We attended Saturday night's performance of "9 to 5 The Musical". Wow. What a show. This stage version of Dolly Parton's 1980 hit movie is one of the most entertaining shows you will ever enjoy.

The production is raucous, energetic, and delightful from the opening number to the grand finale. Dolly Parton herself makes an appearance on video and acts as a narrator. You will laugh your way through both Act I and Act II.
The dance numbers are marvelous, the costumes are dazzling, and of course the music is Dolly Parton quality. And be aware, this show is full of hilarious sight gags, punch lines and a flavor of slapstick.
Annie Edgerton, Sarah Hund, and Crystal Mosser have lead roles, with Mosser making her Beef & Boards debut. These ladies can sing! Andrew Lebon's rendition of the office chauvinistic boss is perfect. Watch for Deb Wims portrayal of the office lush. I could give positive comments on each actor's performance.
Bottom line: There are no highlights to "9 to 5 The Musical". The entire show is the highlight! Don't miss your chance to see this gem. Judging by the size of the house Saturday night, you might want to get your reservations in early.
"9 to 5 The Musical" is running at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre through March 24, 2013. Go to the Beef & Boards website for ticket information, showtimes and other details.
"9 to 5 The Musical" coming to Beef & Boards
The next show at Indy's Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre will be the musical comedy "9 to 5 The Musical". The show opens on Thursday, February 7th and runs through March 24, 2013.
The music and lyrics were written by Dolly Parton, who also starred in the original 1980 big screen movie. The story is about three gals in a 1970's era office with a jerk for a boss. Many of the performers are B&B regulars, with direction by Eddie Curry, another mainstay at the famous Indianapolis venue.
We are looking forward to being in the audience on Saturday February 9th. There is nothing like a great meal (thanks to Chef Ward!) and a great musical comedy to knock down the winter doldrums.
We'll be back to let you know how we liked the show.

Waiting for Spring
Well, its January 1st, the beginning of 2013. Recent snows have covered nearly everything, including our RV trailer. We are already looking forward to nice weather so we can hit the road again.
A not so happy post-Christmas surprise
It was the day after Christmas. We still had family staying with us. I woke up and fixed coffee. Then I noticed the house seemed cold. Yikes! The thermostat was set for 68, but the in house temperature was only 60. No wonder it seemed cold. It was!
Maj called Shelby Air. It turned out that Shelby Air has been bought out by Williams Comfort Air of Carmel, Indiana. Within a few hours their technician arrived. Our old furnace was in pretty bad shape. Joe was able to get it going, at least for a while. The office was able to get Mark from the sales group to come out that evening at 6:00. Mark took the time to explained our options to us .
Believe it or not we ordered a new furnace/AC system that night and the next day it was installed. Roy and Ryan did a great job on the installation. They wore 'booties' in the house over their work shoes. These guys were both very personable as well as professional. They cleaned up, hauled the old units away, and really respected our home. Once the system was installed they took the time to explain the system and the new programmable thermostat.
I normally wouldn't write a "review" for a contractor. However, the folks at Williams Comfort Air provided exceptional service and value in our opinion. If you live anywhere in central Indiana and need furnace, AC or plumbing work, give them a try. This will take you to their website.
And, I love the new furnace, it is so quiet! I hadn't realized how loud the old one had gotten.
Indy's Beef & Boards version of Arsenic and Old Lace was hilarious
What a treat we had Saturday night at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. Arsenic and Old Lace opened the 2013 season, which is also the 40th Anniversary of the theater.
You have to love Douglas Stark's portrayal of Teddy Brewster, who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt. Shouting "Charge!" as he storms up the stairs Teddy thinks he is back at San Juan Hill in Cuba with the Rough Riders. Teddy also blows his bugle at the most inopportune times.
This dark comedy kept us laughing throughout the production. All of the actors really got into their characters. The set, lighting and support music were very effective. Each scene was a delight and leads to a wild conclusion.
Do not miss this classic stage comedy. The show runs through February 3rd. Get your tickets soon for the best seating. Check the Beef & Boards website for details. By the way, the buffet was outstanding. Don't miss Chef Odell Ward's mashed potatoes!

Arsenic and Old Lace at Indy's Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre
We are looking forward to the 40th Anniversary season at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. Arsenic and Old Lace opened Friday night the 28th. We are going to the performance tonight.
I have fond memories of this play. When I was in my high school drama club I played the part of Mortimer Brewster in our production. I remember we had an absolute ball putting on this comedy.
I can't wait to see the play tonight. I wonder if some of Mortimer's lines will come back to me some decades later!
