Went for a drive today. Here’s what we saw.
These fine feathered friends of ours were certainly enjoying their afternoon romping in the river. Hop on the ice, jump in the water, swim a bit, hop back on the ice, repeat, repeat again. Ducks have a fine life.
These naturally weathered stones are found in only one riverbed in the world. That is the Narmada River in Madhya Pradesh state in central India. These stones are considered sacred, are an iconic symbol of worship and are ancient and connote divinity.

The shape of these stones, regardless of their size, are created naturally during the course of the flowing water and movement of the river bed sediments. It is quite the phenomena that these stones are found in only one place on Earth.
We’d been basically stuck at home for the past few days via snow and stupid cold temperatures. Somehow pizza sounded pretty good for dinner tonight.
Love those olives
Alfredo sauce and bacon strips!
The car was a challenge to get the doors open, wipers free and 10 inches of snow removed. But with our son’s help we got it dug out. It needed to get started anyway, so our son picked up our online order at Papa Johns. Yummy and a nice break from cooking at home.
Sometimes Nature shows us that things can be better in two’s.
A thousand year old sandstone statue of Ganesha, son of Shiva
This statue is about 3 feet tall

This stature, as the panel states, is from Central India, most probably from year 730 to 1119, representing the Pala period. It is on display at Newfields Indianapolis Museum of Art.
Yesterday we decided to watch some funny clips on YouTube. One of those was the classic Abbott and Costello bit “Who’s on First?” Considered by many to be the funniest eight minutes in comedy history.
If you have never seen this skit, then by all means check it out. If you’ve seen it before, refresh your memory. You will laugh out loud.
This Egyptian vessel has survived for over 5000 years. It is amazing that you can still observe it close up in the Newfields museum in Indianapolis.
This pot is about 14 inches tall
This artifact is identified in a museum information label as a Nagada II Vessel, titled Flamingos. It is dated 3400-3200 B.C. The pictures of the flamingos and the geometric lines are typical of other pots of the same vintage.
We had a bunny cross the yard yesterday
The 2022 season at Indy’s beloved dinner theater has a Tony Award winning musical opening next week.

Opening Feb. 10, this high-heeled hit will bring plenty of sparkle to Beef & Boards’ 49th Season!
This vibrant musical not only won the Best Musical Tony, but also Best Original Score for the talented music and lyrics by Cyndi Lauper, along with four additional Tony Awards, and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album.

We are so looking forward to seeing this marvelous show. The pandemic stifled so many months of B&B’s productions. It will seem like finally getting to go to visit a dear friend when we see Kinky Boots next week.
