Cuzzin Ricky and I took our show on the road yesterday. First stop, Our Place restaurant in Brook, Indiana in search of a pork tenderloin. This is our second time there and the tenderloins were even bigger than last time. A little less than $12.00 with a drink. Hard to beat that. After lunch we headed east to the cemetery.
The little country cemetery is very well kept. All of the veteran's graves had flags from Memorial Day and rather than being just stuck in the ground, they all had a holder of some sort like the one pictured above. They're not all alike, some of them looking like they've been there many a year. Most of the older ones are castings, the one for our relative is a stamping. It appears to be only a few years old, even though he died 50 years ago. We got our flowers planted and then headed back north.
We stopped on the way home at the Monon Connection restaurant for a piece of carrot cake. There's an assortment of train stuff outside, an electric train running around the inside of the restaurant, and a museum of all kinds of railroad stuff on display. Just the thing for a couple of train geeks.
It was a beautiful day for a road trip - perfect weather for most anything actually. We were in four different counties on our trip and we discussed maybe doing another train trip this fall or a driving trip to a destination that has a train. The covid thing really disrupted our travels. Time to get back out on the road again.

Yes, sounds like you should get back on track. Just a thought.
It's definitely time to scratch that itch. I'm going to start perusing the Amtrak schedule and see what looks appealing.
