Last minute trip to Indiana


My sister Carol and I decided to make a last minute trip to Indiana to finish helping mom and dad move from the house they have lived in for 30+ years to their new home over on the Tippecanoe Country Club golf course. They are across the street from the lake but have a lake view of Lake Shafer from the front window. Out their back window, the view is of the golf course. The 6th Tee is right out their back door. My dad has already been collecting golf balls that get lost in their yard. So after 30+ years you can only imagine all that they have accumulated. (my opinion, a lot of junk- but to them, so many treasures.) I'm unpacking and I come across this - a cigar smoking frog driving a car made out of shells! What house is not complete without one of these. It is now proudly displayed on the sofa table b/c "it's so darn cute". I guess some things are just hard to part with!!
