The Bridges of Madison County

One of my favorite movies of all time is The Bridges of Madison County.  We watched it again last night and each time we both enjoy it so much.  It's not surprising then that  we actually visited a covered bridge once in Indiana near the town where my sister Darlene lives.

Here I am in front of the plaque that says the bridge was constructed in 1877, and is 181 feet long.

 

Darlene and I are in front of the Cumberland Bridge which was restored in 1999.

 

 

Obviously, I loved the bridge, probably as much as Meryl and Clint.

 

Here we are at the side next to a railing that had stairs down to the water.  I don't think one car or truck went across while we were there (except ours).

 

Duane and I got caught up in the whole atmosphere and pretended we were Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep.

 

 

WOW! IT'S 2013!

Personally, I think this year is going to be great.  I have a few resolutions, not the least of which are:

                                                             Stronger Faith in God
                                                             Losing Weight
                                                             Eating the Right Foods
                                                             And Exercising More

                                  If I can accomplish those things, anything is possible!

                                 Ideal weight in 1969.  A little unrealistic?  The sky's the limit!

 

Got Pool?  USE IT!!!

Grow more fresh veggies/ harvest more fruits.

And, our wonderful friends.  May God bless them all!
