It’s easy to miss a little Indiana article here and there. I do update every day! But have no fear, the weekly recap is here!

What better way to celebrate the arrival of cooler temperatures than with a visit to one of the oldest orchards in the state: Doud Orchards. We browsed through a fair trade store in a very small Indiana town and looked at an amazing array of special occasion dresses at one of the Top 10 Prom shops in Indiana (and in a small town, no less). Have I yet mentioned my delicious tall grass beef burger that used Fair Oaks Farms Cheese? It was a delicious week around little Indiana!

If you think this week was stupendous…just wait until next week!
