We took a long weekend and drove to northern Indiana to see where Kurtis' grandma and grandpa's family came from. (Neither of us are from the Midwest, so saying we went to Indiana sounds very odd!) Anyway, Kurtis' grandma gave us the grand tour of her family's farm, the house she grew up in, the summer house on the lake (which was where we stayed), gravesites of family members and the small towns where Kurtis' grandfather's family originated. We had a wonderful time learning about our heritage and seeing the beautiful countryside. Kurtis found a deer tower (left), which only encouraged his aspirations to become a hunter, and we found a photo of some of the Tucker family members who were in city positions in the town's city hall (above). Oh, forgot to mention that the first night we were there, there was a tornado about 10 miles West of us that leveled the next town over. Fun times.

I wish I had had grandparents.
All of mine had passed on well before I was born, so I only know them through what others have told me or photographs. Try to visit them as often as you can. You'll never have the opportunity again!
