Well on Sunday the weather was so beautiful I decided to take Amber out for lunch in Province Park. We stopped first at the new Rally's that just opened up in Franklin and picked up some food. We snapped some pictures of the courthouse and statue of Ben Franklin at the Franklin College campus on the way to the park. Now for a sidebar:
Let me tell you a little about this Benjamin Franklin shrine that sits right on the southeast corner of Monroe and East State Streets. It has been a long running tradition for the students of Franklin College to paint 'ole Benny boy up for special occasions, only to be repainted 'monument grey' again by the university, usually within 48 hours. I drive by Mr. Franklin every day going to and from work, and have seen many different costumes on him. I got a 'baseline' picture of him for you all to see, and will start posting wardrobe updates as 'The Benjamin Repot'. I think it's great stuff!
Now, to get back on track. We made it to the park and found a nice picnic table in the shade to enjoy our famous Rally's fries and sandwiches. After we were done eating we strolled through the park to check it all out. There is a river that runs through the park, and a few people were fishing in it. Kids were playing on swingsets and jungle gyms. Several people were riding their bikes or casually walking and enjoying the scenery. It was a peaceful and relaxing trip. Next time you get a nice day, take a lunch at your local park!
When we got home Amber put a 'Support Our Troops' stepping stone in the flowerbed in front of the house, right next to the American flag. It looks real nice.
Until next time...
