The Indiana Countryside
Hi again, so, yes, I took the train to Chicago this morning. What an elegant way to travel. We passed a wetland just west of Porter, Indiana and I saw a bird that I thought was an egret-or a heron. I have a hard time telling them apart. I bet the artist Kathie Briggs of Charlevoix, Michigan would know the difference (www.kathiebriggs.com) It was a soft-white and slender bird just chilling in the marsh.
Despite the fact that we live in a rural county, it is characterized by farmland, orchards and vineyards, real wildlife is thin on the ground.
I am making this trip with my brother Bill who has never been to Glacier. You can follow his comments on Facebook at Bill Dineen. It has been quite enjoyable so far.
What a wonderful opportunity! You spoke to KLCQ a few months and your work is wonderful. I can’t wait to see this new project. I have been fascinated by our Native Americans. Have you been to Washington D C to visit the American Indian Museum. It is realatively new and I never have enough time but it is fascinating and beautifully done. Carolyn Mack has a trip to D c for the genealogists and it makes an economical way to get there and have free time to do Museums. They drop people off 3 different spots for the day: DAR near National Gallery, then an area near the capitol. anna mae
