There's more than corn in Indiana!

Promoters for the state of Indiana have frequently used the slogan-

There's more than corn in Indiana!

Since I live in Indiana I know the state has a lot to offer. From the dunes in the north to the caverns in the south, we have a very diverse state. 

We can boast a commitment to sports that never seems to die with the Colts and Pacers. Our AAA baseball team, the Indians, has the most beautiful and affordable stadium. We will be there on the 4th to celebrate Independence Day. The NCAA has their headquarters in Indy along with the impressive Hall of Champions museum.

Indiana has 46 state and private universities, shopping, zoos, golf courses, soy beans, big cities, small cities...yes we have it all.

But when summer comes, most people in Indiana care about one thing. Corn! I got this beautiful pile of corn from a farmer on the side of the road. $.25 each! There might be more than corn in Indiana, but today I don't care!

String Camp Videos

Here are the videos from last nights concert! On both links the conductor speaks for about 2 minutes so speed through that if you wish.

This song is called Last Spring. The intro is very long but the song is great! It begins at minute 2:19.

This is the camp song Kumbaya played by the orchestra. The song actually starts at minute 2:20. It was beautiful. Be prepared to hum the tune all day!

String Scholars Camp

This week the twins are at camp. 

This is somewhat of a tradition for the girls. They go to this camp at Butler University each summer. We live close by so they are commuter campers instead of resident campers. Translation- They get to come home each night and swim! Tonight we got to watch their final concert. Although they played some really wonderful classical pieces, my favorite was the standard camp singalong- Kumbaya! In my next post I will upload the video of the song.

Oh yes, I have a blog!

I just got a notification that someone commented on my blog. All comments to the blog are moderated by me which means a comment can't be published unless I approve it first. I haven't had a comment in over a year!  I didn't publish the comment. It was rude and from an anonymous poster. But it just reminded me that my blog still exists and I should use it more!
