Easter Blessings to you as we head out of town.

Well, tomorrow we are heading out of town for Easter. Man-o-day, I have a b'zillion things to do before then (packing is a good place to start for example). Carl will take the kids to church tonight while I work on things that need done before we go (though I need a bumper sticker that reads I'd rather be blogging.)

Thought I'd leave you with a glimpse of our past week before checking out until returning Monday night. This is a journal entry I made on Monday after driving nearly 3 hours to one of our very favorite family restaurants in the world; Joe Hubers.

What a lovely, lovely, LOVELY day. We made our seasonal jaunt down to Joe Huber's. The Eastern Redbud was in bloom everywhere along the forest edges. They are a beautiful (pink) sight to see.


We also discovered a little creek with a waterfall just down the road from Hubers. It was so completely untouched by the outside world. I bet only the Hubers know it's there. The photo does not do it justice at all.


We would like to rent a cabin and stay for a few nights, maybe taking in one of the Christian dinner concerts often held at the restaurant. The Hubers truly are blessed to call Starlight, Indiana their home. I mean, even the name suggests God created a most beautiful spot to behold; Starlight! Ahhh.
(author's note: they likely own most of the land in Starlight, which sits high in the hills near the Indiana/Kentucky state line; it's pure countryside, quiet and largely untouched by the outside world other than the glimpse provided by the Huber family through their restaurant). I would live there in a heartbeat if circumstances allowed. I feel so at peace while there.


There was a ditsy Cardinal that kept flying at the window again and again while we waited for our food. The waitress said he's been doing it for over two weeks and Mr. Huber said he sees his reflection during mating season and thinks he found a "friend." LOL!

The kids had their usual complete blast playing after a delicious meal of "made from scratch" fried chiken, baked ham, dumpling noodles, broccoli salad, glasses of cold iced tea and more. They fed the ducks and carp and made a dog friend too. Starlight Indiana has got to be one of the prettiest places on God's earth. We LOVE it there.

Blog friends, if you're ever near Louisville, KY., do consider the short drive up to Joe Hubers in Indiana. There are all kinds of activities for children; fishing pole rentals, apple launchers, grain slides, silo climbing, petting zoo, hay rides and more. You won't regret it.

Have a blessed Easter.
He is risen. He is risen indeed!
