Shipshewana, Indiana

 We went with our camping group to Shipshewana, IN.  It is an Amish community.  We have been through there a number of times during our travels and enjoy it.  It is about 225 miles from our house so it was a long day.  One of my favorite meat markets is there so I made sure I had room in my freezer to stock up. Here is our campsite

We went shopping in a few of the stores and Bill found a dog he wanted to take home.  I told him it was too expensive but it was cute.

We also went to two concerts. With each one we had a buffet dinner included in the tickets. The first one we ate too much and were miserable so the next night we made sure we cut down on what we ate.  We saw the Kingston Trio

They were not the original ones as that group was started in the early 60’s but they were good. We had second row seats for that show. 

On Friday night we saw Josh Turner.  Our seats were not as good but were still good seats. 

He put on a really good show. Josh is a country singer and is best known for the song Long Black Train.  He also sings Christian music.  I really like his voice and really enjoyed the show.  Both shows were at the Blue Gate Theater, which is new in Shipshewana.  

The seats were really comfortable and the sound was good. We have tickets to go back in August to see Trace Adkins but we will be staying in the hotel instead of taking the RV.  

The camp out was good, too much food and lots of visiting with friends. The group is going back next year but we may not go.  It will depend on a lot of things.  

Next month the group is going to St Mary’s State Campground. I’ll let you know what I think about it.  I volunteered to make taco meat for one of the dinners.  I assigned food to everyone to bring the fixings. Assigned food is not something they usually do so we will se pe how it goes.  

They finally finished by shower but still haven’t fixed the window shutter. I have decided I am not going to contact them but wait for them to contact me.  I haven’t made the final payment yet, and won’t be paying them the full price. I wonder if they will just fade away or come after the money.  I’ll let you know.  

That is all for now.  Have fun.
