A WEEKEND IN CRAWFORDSVILLE, IN

This weekend I got to exist inside my dream life for a bit.

I stayed at a friend’s almost 200yo family home in Crawfordsville, IN.

Before I even arrived, I was having a perfect “Jewel” day. I slept in, watched modern family, ate a grilled cheese, and went antique shopping in an itty bitty town! While antiquing, I found the most darling rocking chair and a few other things that I couldn’t live without. 🤭

Once we finally got to the house, I was immediately in love! Fuzzy cottonwood fell from the sky, and I swear all the birds began to sing! It looked like something out of a disney movie.

After chit chatting with my friend’s family, they graciously allowed me to borrow some creek shoes (hiking boots), and my friend and I set off through the backyard to the river.

I thought I knew the Wabash river, but I had never experienced it before like I did this weekend. I couldn’t take my phone with me as we ventured into the actual river, so you are going to just have to trust me when I say where we went to swim was beyond beautiful!

Fighting the current wore us both out. So after a quick porch debrief and a shower (where I accidentally re-broke an old shower door oof), we rested and ate dinner (homemade cherry and veggie pot pie 🥧🤤).

We ended the night with deep talks over a bonfire and watching Mulan - one of my favorite movies.

The next day, I got to spend more time learning about the house and meeting the farm animals!! They have a rooster, lots of chickens, and goats. The goats were especially friendly and came up to me like they knew me forever 😅. (See photos above for proof.)

I came back home dreaming and manifesting that one day I would have my own old house in the woods with more than enough room for loved ones and cute animals!! Now, I just have to get rich 🤨 and find a place to settle down. LOL!

It has been a while since I’ve had a Freshwater Drum strike an inline spinner! It was rather a nice surprise while fishing for little river bass
