We visited the home of the Cincinnati Open. In a few weeks, some of our                                                   favorite tennis players will be here. 

This is the Cincinnati Bengals’ stadium

Big Boy rolled us into Indiana and we arrived at the Indian Lakes RV Campground. We were able to do our Friday thing of tidying up Big Boy’s innards and take care of some stinky laundry. Then, we swam, the boys played some basketball, and we got to bed for some much needed rest.

On Sabbath, we attended the Shelbyville SDA Church. The members were so warm and friendly, it felt like we knew ten people in the first two minutes! We passed this cute Indiana farm on the way there.

That afternoon, we found a park further up the road and enjoyed the shade trees while eating lunch. The breeze was just perfect, too.

Mike is holding a baseball that’s the same size as the one under all those thousands of layers of paint. That little baseball is like a seed that started the whole thing!

As evening neared, we arrived in Alexandria at the home of Mike Carmichael and his family. They have a unique attraction there – the world’s largest ball of paint. Albert and I, along with my sister and her family, stopped there fourteen years ago to see this ball. Mike kindly allows you to add a layer of paint to . We painted layer number 26, 117! If you’re ever in the area, be sure to make an appointment to stop in and be a part of history. Here’s a link to their website.  http://ballofpaint.freehosting.net/

These are some old cars we saw while in Indiana. The boys love cars like this!
