Indiana Historical Society Visit

June 11, 2010 Mom and I went on the Summer Trace trip to the Indiana Historical Society in downtown Indianapolis to see the "You Are There" exhibit. It was a beautiful day and Mom loved the entire museum experience, including lunch! Mom especially enjoyed "riding" in an old model Ford car with the Summer Trace Activities Director, Joan, and examining the old familiar Raggedy Ann and Andy books by Johnny Gruelle in the gift shop. One thing I treasured was that this wonderful day gave me the unique opportunity of photographing Mom getting to hold and attempt to play a violin again in the "You Are There" exhibit's violin shop. I remember her having the violin she played as a young girl when I was a child. I don't know whatever happened to that violin. It would be neat for her to get to hold that one again. Enjoy the photos in the slide show below! In one you'll see Mom getting a private concert of Cole Porter favorites in the Cole Porter room.
