Old Postcard Wednesday--Greetings from (refreshing) Kentland, Indiana




As made clear in the map above there is no sandy beach in Kentland, Indiana. My guess is that this bathing beauty might be enjoying a day at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore on Lake Michigan, some 80 miles to the north or another beach on that great lake going east along the shore.

I had never heard of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and it does look appealing, like a place I would enjoy seeing some day. Click here for the website to see if you might like to plan a visit there too.


As for Refreshing Kentland, here is a fact sheet about the place from citytowninfo.com:

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.

If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
