My name is Rowena; I'm sixty-something and my husband and I own and live in the former Lawrence County Jail in Bedford, Indiana. Our jailhouse was built in 1904 and presents lots of challenges. I love to design and make things, so this blog is a place to present those projects to you, share ideas and patterns, occasionally show you what's happening with our old house, and often just reflect on mid-life and all that goes with it.

Yes, I visited the Alamo!
And here it is, with the two-person universe of happiness posing nearby. It was a quick visit to San Antonio, and a hot one, but I not only got to see where Davy Crockett drew his last breaths, I also got to visit the River Walk twice. The last evening was spent with five college freshmen and a high school junior at the Hard Rock Cafe, and I've got a glass (and this goofy picture) to prove it, except as usual I'm not actually IN the picture because I'm the one taking it.
It was fun to hang out with the kids, if a little exhausting, but back in Bedford it's time to harvest a bumper crop of tomatoes and get back to work on the house. I helped DD move into her college dorm yesterday, a bittersweet occasion. She's the third generation in our family to attend Indiana University. We had lunch at the Runcible Spoon, which I remember from my own college days (I'm not sure how long it has been in Bloomington, but there were thirty years' worth of literary journals on the bookshelves.) The iced coffee with mint was sweet and good.
