Bremen, Indiana is "A GoodTown"

We took Grandma to the cemetery today so she could place flowers on the graves of her loved ones.

It was a beautiful day for a drive to the country and Grandma certainly enjoyed being outside and breathing the fresh air.

Although the slogan on the Bremen welcome sign looks Photoshopped in this picture, it is real. Seems like the town council was a bit short of creative thinkers when they came up with the phrase, "A Good Town".

The brown ranch isn't so brown any more.
This is the house where Bruce's Grandma Meyer grew up. The sign on the porch says, "The Brown Ranch".

From the backseat of our van, Grandma gave us a tour of Bremen, her childhood hometown.

She showed us the sidewalk where she roller skated, up-hill, to school. She pointed out the house where her husband grew up and the playground where he practiced basketball. We also saw the mansion where former Governor Otis Bowen lived.






These horses on Ply-Goshen Trail stopped playing long enough to pose for a photo.

We drove home through the country roads of Elkhart County and enjoyed seeing the Amish gardens and farm animals.
