Flashback Photo
Plentiful Harvest
Corydon, IN
1952
// Photo courtesy of the Frederick Porter Griffin Center, Harrison County Public Library
The above photo was taken in the summer of 1952 at Edwin Miller’s farm about four miles east of Corydon,
Indiana on Highway 62. A few men are operating a threshing machine to harvest wheat on a local farm. A team
of two horses can be seen as well as a large truck. According to library records, threshing machines were not as
common in Harrison County in 1952 as they once were, but a few farmers continued to use them instead of the
more modern combine.
Library records indicate that the machine in this picture was owned by Kenneth L. Brown, who along with
Miller and others threshed approximately sixty acres of wheat on Miller’s farm. The acreage yielded 1760
bushels for an average yield of 29.5 bushels per acre.

A Walk in the Garden with Bob Hill
The Tale of a Lost Billfold
This will be a story, nay a possible
movie, about a lost billfold,
the amazing bureaucratic
response to same and
the destruction of an old piano with
a sledgehammer named “Buster.”
Yes, that old plotline.
It begins with the lost billfold,
a worn, faded brown-leather relic
that has been a passenger in my
left rear pocket for maybe 15 to 20
years. It contained a driver’s license
with a photo of me looking like a
depressed bank robber, a Visa credit
card and the address-card of my
foot doctor who cuts my toenails
every 10 weeks or so. It takes him
about five minutes. Minor bleeding.
Occasional salve. God bless
Medicare.
Speaking of which, tucked
away in a fold of my lost billfold
was that Medicare card, my AARP
medicine card, proof of my car insurance
and an ever-evolving, typewritten
list of old-guy medicines
with typical multi-syllable names
such as Clopidogrel Bisulfate and
Atorvastatin Calcium.
Losing a billfold at my stage
of the game is a depressing experience.
I know the smart folks stuff
all that is important and useful into
cellphones, then find ways to find
lost cellphones. I’m an old guy. My
accumulated life was in that worn
brown billfold. Financial, gastronomical
and pedicurical. I was now
in charge of finding myself.
The billfold was last seen during
a possible hand-off to my wife
while I was sitting in a golf cart
just behind the house, and she
headed into the house through the
garage. It was a possible hand-off.
We agreed on that. Then it got lost.
Bitter divorces have occurred over
less.
The search was on. A bomb
squad couldn’t have done a better
job of searching the house with its
thousands of nooks and crannies
and bookshelves and drawers and
closets and heat ducts. It was also my
understanding some lost billfolds
have been found in refrigerators
next to Hellmann’s mayonnaise. A
guy can hope while fully understanding
anything lost will finally
be found in the last place he looks. I
just hadn’t found that last place yet.
We also repeatedly and unsuccessfully
drove the golf cart past
trees, shrubs and fountains and
my depression kicked up another
notch. I knew what came next and
feared the bureaucracy involved,
the minutes, hours, days, months
and years required in contacting all
the various agencies needed to get
my life and financial security back.
The first call was to our insurance
carrier. I explained the situation
as the kind woman on the
phone took my personal information
and said, “Don’t worry about
it, I’ll get you a new card out today.”
Somewhat encouraged by that
experience, I decided to go after
the missing elephant in the room:
Medicare. I was a little worried that
I might suffer a heart attack in the
lengthy process, thus unable to get
in the hospital door without my
Medicare card.
I Googled the Medicare phone
number and was directed to a
pleasant-voiced Medicare robot
who kept asking what my problem
was. I less than pleasantly explained
he was the problem: “How
about a live person, please?”
In a flash, R2-D2 connected
me to a live person who was very
official yet kind, understanding
and helpful. She took my personal
information and promised a new
card in the mail in two weeks. She
then connected me to the very live
AARP prescription lady who was
equally fast and helpful; my card
soon in the mail.
Moving on by phone, once I
got past the Social Security robot to
a live voice, I got the same results. A
very understanding person promised
a new card before Christmas,
maybe sooner, and I was still going
to get my monthly checks.
My lost Visa card experience
went just as smoothly. The call. A
five-minute wait. A live voice. A
new Visa card within three days —
somebody wants me out there buying
stuff. Probably plant nurseries.
I was happily astounded. The
whole dreaded bureaucratic, getmy-life-back
by telephone experience
took less than 45 minutes.
Giddy was on the horizon. Leaving
only the missing driver’s license.
It required a personal visit unless
I wanted to try online — which
would have taken me until Christmas.
I walked into the Clarksville
Bureau of Motor Vehicles the next
morning fearing I would need a
sack lunch. Wrong. I was number
48 in line and 46 had already been
called. I had, for some reason, taken
a photo of my driver’s license on
my cellphone. The clerk looked at
it, banged away on her computer
and told me my new card would be
in the mail within 24 days.
Then she leaned over and sort
of whispered, “But it usually only
takes about a week.”
Shazam. A genuine love for
bureaucrats. Our tax dollars and
Visa at work, I had become a fully
and duly authorized man in about
36 hours. And only $9 for the new
plasticized driver’s license.
But what of my missing billfold?
Lean in a little closer for the
big finish. We did find it in the last
place we looked. A buddy was over
to help me take a sledgehammer we
call “Buster” to take apart a very
old piano and salvage its sounding
board for Hoosier yard art. The
process did offer some serious reverberating
sound.
Buster’s home is in the corner
of our garage next to where my
billfold had been placed on a step
stool by my wife and forgotten. We
had searched high in the garage but
never got to the low part. A truly
happy reunion without blame or recrimination.
We have been married
61 years and have gone through
worse than a lost billfold.
The resonating theme through
this tale is if we had not decided to
demolish the old piano, we never
would have had need for Buster,
and thus not found my billfold as
quickly.
Piano. Buster. Bingo.
Before finding my old billfold,
we purchased a shiny new one. All
new bureaucratic cards will go in
there for the next time I lose my old
billfold. Stay tuned for the movie. •

Celebrate the Little Things
A Note to Baby Boomers
Ido not wash my car. I probably
should.
I probably won’t.
Downsides overwhelm
us seniors. Medicare and earlybird
specials bless us, no doubt.
Over-the-counter hearing aids indeed
sound sweet. Nothing helps
enough, though. Nothing beats aging.
Nothing could. Reminders of
what used to be — but no longer
is — smack us both routinely and
rudely.
A good day is when I reach my
toenails to cut them. A bad one is
when the young mother exercising
next to me at the YMCA calls me sir.
Makes me wish I was almost 30, not
almost 70.
Or do I?
I sure would not mind having
more energy, more hair and more
reasons not to go to bed before 10.
I collect a variety of creepy spots on
my skin, so don’t look closely, OK.
I’d like to know why my computer
and my cell phone and even my
television insist I embrace the 21st
century.
So much as ordering lunch at
a counter can make my head explode.
Lunch, really?
I could feel angry, bitter, betrayed.
But which nap would I interrupt
to fuss? Who would listen?
Besides, our old dog already plays
the cranky-old-man role in our
household.
After a lifetime in occasionally
successful pursuit of life’s big
things, I now blissfully chase little
things.
They loom plenty big in their
way.
The grandkids, our next-door
neighbors, come over for a swim,
for ice cream, just to hang out and
to make another mess. That’s little
but that’s big. My gym friend invariably
asks “sir” how was his
weekend.
That’s little but that’s big.
People my wife and I met on
vacation sent us an anniversary
card. That’s little but that’s big.
Friends here join us regularly for
lunch or dinner, count on it as much
as do we.
That’s little but that’s big.
A long, deep breath pleases me
as like little else can. Ten of them are
still nicer. In 2023, I gear down and
I get by. No one I care most about
cares a hoot if my car is washed.
Yes, that too is little but big. I still
pitch in to meet community needs. I
gradually cut back on that commitment,
as well. It’s the whippersnappers’
turn to save the world.
I rejoice in saying no, at last.
I read obituaries of people
I knew and people I wish I had
known. I read of their survivors,
work histories, hobbies, favorite
teams and beloved pets. I now
know these people better, for sure.
Obits define their subjects respectfully,
just not fully.
Little things, little qualities, get
nudged out in a big picture.
My obit probably will not say
how much I enjoy listening to birds
chatter in the morning. My obit
probably will not say how I mourned
the loss via storm of our milewide,
century-old mulberry tree.
My obit probably will not say how
much I love our bedroom clock radio;
like me, it’s gone from state of
the art to relic.
My obit probably will not say
how I fiercely found no reason to
click a single selfie or to spend as
much as a second meandering Tik-
Tok. My obit likewise well could
leave out how I preferred hold-inmy-hand
books and TV ballgames
with the sound off.
My obit probably will not
claim Dale Moss was normal.
He was a way-too-impatient
sightseer, this Moss guy. It was just
him to devote too little time to truly
big deals such as the Empire State
Building and the Liberty Bell and
the Lincoln Memorial. Give him instead
one of those silent ballgames
or his noisy-by-nature yard and he
was contented.
I heard a man interviewed
mention the two most-important
days in his life — the day he was
born and the day he realized
why. The why part of old age gets
tricky, doesn’t it? What’s the point
when you and I typically run out
of points? Most of us have raised
kids and have retired from jobs.
Our dreams and ambitions turn
more into memories. We are left
to re-evaluate what most matters
and who most matters. Returning
to sleep after yet another bathroom
visit is tonight’s bear to wrestle.
Tomorrow, I hope to remember
to clip those Burger King coupons.
I no longer jog. I no longer
attend any music concert where I
would have to stand a minute or
more. That’s OK, since I am more
into Beethoven than the Beatles. I
walk slower and drive slower, eat
I walk slower and drive slower, eat less
and follow politics less. My world ever
shrinks, and I am ever tickled.
less and follow politics less. My
world ever shrinks, and I am ever
tickled. I am finished making big
splashes, though I hope I made
a few. Busy is a four-letter word,
even if it wasn’t one. I admit it; I’m
tempted to let General Hospital
have its way with me.
Keeping life simple keeps me
happiest.
A goal for tomorrow is to say
hi to as many people as I can and
to be grateful for whoever says it
back. I plan on listening more than
on talking, on caring more about
sunshine than the stock market.
I may or may not succeed on
all fronts. Either way, my goal for
the day after tomorrow will be the
same.
Perhaps it will rain good and
hard, and my car will come clean
regardless. •

Cover Story
Simply Inspired
The Inspired Child offers a place to play in Corydon
“Connecting with your child,
with other parents, and your
child connecting with other
kids.” That is how owner Erica
Walter describes the goal of The
Inspired Child, and connection is
present in all they do.
The Inspired Child opened
in Corydon in December and has
since become a community space
for the town and for visitors.
The “community center” has
a play space, daily classes, sensory
activities and more. Kids can drop
in or they can have a membership
with a monthly fee and visit as often
as they like. Parents are able to
play with the kids or set up shop
and work while they watch.
Walter herself has a 2-yearold
and a 3-year-old, is a nurse and
works at her children’s preschool.
Her vision for The Inspired Child
was swift, but passionate.
“We were on vacation, and I
heard this boutique was going out
of business. I looked at my husband
and was just like, ‘We should open
something in Corydon,’” she said.
“We love Corydon so much and
want to help make it a place for
families.”
Walter said she is not naturally
a businessperson and has experienced
quite the learning curve
while opening; however, she continues
to let the center be inspired
by her own family and activities
her kids would enjoy.
Classes offered include art, science
and music and usually have
a weekly theme accompanied by
daily thematic crafts. They’ve had a
Father’s Day watercolor card class,
sensory bins, stuffed animal pre-

tend picnics, pottery, beading and
more.
“We like to really partner in
the shop with other local businesses
to get the word out about theirs
and ours and promote community
for families,” she said.
For instance, a local bath bomb
company recently came in and
worked with the kids on painting
bath bombs they could then take
home.
The Inspired Child hosts local
vendors selling their products
as well as a homeschool co-op, focused
on giving the community the
resources and connection they are
looking for.
“Really it all stems from my
family, my kids. I really try to incorporate
things that they would
love,” she said. “We joke that when
you come in here, the messier the
better, and parents don’t have to
clean it up.”
Walter said the kids are also
learning as they play and learning
to play together, while parents
make connections with each other.
Activities and classes are
structured in such a way that kids
of any age can participate, from infants
to 12-year-olds. The idea is for
Classes offered include art, science and music
and usually have a weekly theme accompanied

people to participate in the capacity
they can.
In the future, Walter said she’d
like to pursue more STEM activities
for The Inspired Child.
“Some kids in the community
aren’t going to make it to Louisville
or have access to these things, so
bringing that aspect to our small
town and also bringing people
from other places to our town is a
really nice addition to having the
shop here in Corydon,” she said.
Apart from The Inspired
Child, Walter also hosts Cinema on
Chestnut, which is an outdoor family
movie event. After starting in
2022, these have become a local hit
with food trucks, games, sensory
pools and local vendor booths.
With everything Walter does,
connection is unmistakably front
and center. •

A Beautiful View
The Overlook Restaurant offers a tranquil setting for a relaxing meal with family and friends
If you’re looking for a pretty
drive to take in Southern Indiana,
wander along State Road
62 in the Leavenworth area. At
one point you’ll be up on a high
ridge, overlooking the majestic
Ohio River, and you’ll come up on
The Overlook Restaurant and Walter’s
Pub. Food — and an incredible
view like this — you’ve just gotta
stop for it.
A long-time staple in the community
since 1948, and also considered
an Indiana tradition, the
original structure was a chicken
hatchery, built in the late 1920s.
Then a small café and grocery store
opened at this location. Then it became
a Greyhound bus stop. It’s
come a long way since those early
18 • Sept/Oct 2023 • Southern Indiana Living
years, to its current cozy, country

Once you walk in the front
door, you may be greeted by Cathy
Mills or Brandon Howell, co-owners
of the Howell & Linton Hospitality
Group, which operates the
restaurant now. They recently celebrated
their first anniversary, having
purchased the restaurant on
July 1, 2022. As it is with owning
any business, there have been a few
minor challenges, but the rewards
of doing something you love make
it all well worth it. Mills has been
in food service for over 30 years,
so this isn’t her first rodeo. And as
you talk with her, it becomes apparent
how much she loves this place.
She enjoys putting her own spin

on some of the menu items, such
as slightly tweaking their original
meatloaf recipe and hearing all the
positive reactions from customers.
If you can make it past the
pastry counter in the entryway
without stopping to snag a tempting
sweet treat, you’re in for a
down-home dining experience you
won’t forget. A couple other things
The Overlook is well known for are
their fried chicken and their coconut
cream pie. But there are lots of
other comfort foods here, too, that
will remind you of long-ago Sunday
dinners at your Mom’s, so you
may as well plan on coming back
here from time to time to try more
of them. Daily specials are available
Monday through Thursday for

only $10.99. And they honor military
men and women by offering
them a discount.
The Overlook has gotten so
popular these days that on peak
dining times there is often a wait
time of an hour and a half to two
hours to get a table. That speaks
volumes right there of the level of
quality you can expect to receive
here. Make the most of that time
though by getting yourself a nice,
cold drink and enjoying it while
you wait. Walter’s Pub is conveniently
located on the lower level
of the building and can be accessed
either from inside the main restaurant
or from the outside entrance
in back. It seats around 20 or so
comfortably inside, plus there are
several tables out on the deck, overlooking
the river. The pub even has
its own kitchen and its own menu,
serving some fantastic pizza and
subs. The pub also occasionally has
live music either inside, or outside
on the deck, and Howell offers karaoke
a couple times a month.
“The three main reasons people
come here are the service, the
food and the view,” Howell said.

from The Overlook. “Every seat in
the house has a view of the river,”
Mills said. And there are three large
dining rooms to choose from. This
gives the restaurant the capability
to accommodate large groups. Reservations
are strongly recommended
for any group of 13 or more. Just
give them a call in advance and
they’ll be happy to take care of you.
With State Road 62 being fairly
curvy in spots, it’s a favorite route
for motorcycle enthusiasts. Many
of them make a stop at The Overlook
and Walter’s Pub. When the
weather is nice, you’ll find several
of the customers relaxing at one of
the picnic tables scattered around
the lawn, taking in the gorgeous
view of the Ohio River. There are
tons of photos taken from here, as
barges and other boats make their
way up and down the river, along
with a variety of birds and wildlife.
It’s such a tranquil setting, the perfect
place for a relaxing meal with
friends and family, holiday parties,
wedding rehearsal dinners and receptions,
ladies groups and more.
It’s a true destination place. And as
Howell says, it’s a “tourist attraction
that serves food.”
Howell and Mills have some
future projects in mind for the
place, including some expansion
and adding more items to the gift

Southern Indiana Festivals
The Fourth Street Festival of Arts and Crafts
Beauty and artisanship at the 47th annual event in Bloomington, Indiana
Story and Photos by Sheryl Woodhouse
The 47th annual Fourth Street
Art Festival will return to
Bloomington on Labor Day
weekend, Sept. 2-3, from
10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Saturday and 10
a.m. -5 p.m. on Sunday. The iconic
event is one of most beloved events
on Bloomington’s art and culture
calendar. Typically, at least a third
of the juried artists are displaying
their work at Fourth Street for the
first time. This allows the attendees
to connect with their favorite artists
and to discover new work and meet
the people who create it. This year
is no different.
Four of this year’s new artists,
from various Indiana communities,
are painter Taylor Walker of Carmel,
potter Kelly Meska of Bloomington,
jeweler Heidi Mandich of
Indianapolis, and wood turner
Samuel Dean of Whitehall. While
each artist has their own genre and
techniques, they all share a passion
for creating art and making things,
a love for detail and teaching, and
all are committed to experimenting,
continually learning and perfecting
their art, and are well-tuned into
22 • Sept/Oct 2023 • Southern Indiana Living
the business aspects of making a
living with their art.
Walker is an expressionist
painter who is passionate about
animals and focuses on them in her
work. Her goal is to blend technical
ability and photo realism with
exaggerated rainbow color and
strokes to create emotion. She says,
“Neutrals don’t register in my
brain. Purple is my black. Green is
my neutral. I want my work to be
colorful, but not childish; I make it
OK to be colorful as an adult.” As a
young artist, she just started doing
art shows last year, meeting other
artists and joining the volunteer art
show committees.
Meska has been a potter for 25
years and has also been an art teacher
most of that time. Since moving
to Bloomington three years ago, she
devotes her time exclusively to creating
functional ceramics with nontraditional
looks and uses. Meska
uses a mix of throwing, altering and
hand-building in her pottery, and
cuts original, mostly nature-based
designs into linoleum that she imprints
into the clay of her hand-built
work. She takes pride in being very
picky about the design of her mugs,
getting the weight, size and feel just
right, as well as adding details that
make them more unique. She loves
doing shows, where customers can
pick up each mug and find one that
feels right to them, while hearing
about her involved, multi-step process,
which usually surprises them.
“I was not an artist or a teacher
by trade,” says Mandich. “I took my
first metalsmithing class at the Indianapolis
Art Center in 2006 and did
my first show a year later.” Soon,
she was teaching metalsmithing at
the art center, and realized that she
loved both, which helped spur her
into early retirement after an advertising
and sales career. Mandich’s
two unusual techniques are quilling
with metal and torch-painting
titanium. As a poor conductor of
heat, titanium makes a satisfying
medium for painting, so that you
can lay one color down next to another
without changing the first
one. “You’re still not in charge of
the color,” she says. Admiring paper
quilling, Mandich wondered,

“Can I make that in metal?” She
discovered, “Yes, but it’s not as cooperative!”
While he made his living until
recently in engineering, metal fabrication
and sales, Dean has been
a woodworking hobbyist for 35
years. His father had a woodshop
where he would make sculptures,
carvings and furniture. The wood
lathe was one tool his dad didn’t
use, making it available for Dean to
practice with.
Recently, Dean had an opportunity
to change direction in his career
path, and he thought, “What do
I like to do? I like to make things!”
He also likes to give new life and
purpose to reclaimed materials
and downed trees. Since it takes
one year of drying for each inch of
thickness, the process for making
his perfectly round bowls requires
patience. After the first rough turn,
a bowl can take six months to three
years of alternating between wood
turns and periods of sitting on a
shelf to dry. The opposite is true of
his little mushrooms that he wants
to warp for a whimsical look — he
turns those with green wood. As a
bonus, the redbud, locust and walnut
that he turns into mushrooms
also happen to glow green, yellow
and purple under a black light.
These four artists are just a
handful of the 100-plus artists in
2D, ceramics, fiber, glass, jewelry,
painting, photography, sculpture
and wood who will line Fourth
Street between Grant Street and
Indiana Avenue over Labor Day
weekend, eager to talk with patrons
about their work, their inspiration
and techniques. Whether for a couple
hours or the entire weekend, art
lovers are encouraged to soak in the
beauty of the designs and artisanship,
and to connect with the stories
of the people who create them. •

Artists of Southern Indiana
In a rustic corner of Floyd County,
near Elizabeth, on land comprised
of forest, caves, sinkholes
and natural springs, Indiana artisan
Carl deGraaf established his
home, pottery studio and gallery in
1992.
In this out-of-the-way spot
where deGraaf lives with his wife,
M.C., where he creates pottery and
sells his wares, other activities are
brewing.
In 2017, deGraaf gifted this 94-
acre property to Indiana University
Southeast, with the stipulation that
he would continue to live there and
improve the land until his death.
IUS students and faculty, however,
are welcome to use the land now
for academic research, sustainability
efforts, natural resource and
habitat preservation, conferences,
recreation and art classes. A group
of faculty and students were recently
on site looking at sustainability
efforts; they also got an unexpected
lesson in decorating pottery.
DeGraaf, a retired IUS professor
of educational psychology,
hopes this gift of his property “will
foster practical, real-life learning
experiences that students can’t get
sitting in a classroom.”
For example, he said, “sustainability
students can learn to manage
a certified forest, geoscience
students can use the sinkholes for
hydrological research, and pottery
students can use the kilns and studio.”
DeGraaf’s rootedness in the
practical everyday world – his interest
in achieving useful objectives
– is also evident in his pottery practice.
For many contemporary ceramicists,
clay is becoming more of
a purely expressive medium – a fine
art to look at and not touch – rather
than a useful art to create functional
vessels such as cups, plates and
bowls. DeGraaf’s pottery is almost
exclusively functional. He said:
“I’m a Dutchman. My work reflects
Dutch traits like practicality and
functionality. My maternal grandfather
was a carpenter. My father
and grandfather were house painters.
That is my heritage. I am a Pottenbakker,
the Dutch word which
literally means pot baker. My pieces
have to work for a living.”
Some of deGraaf’s bowls, coffee
mugs, tumblers and plates are
used daily by him and his wife in
their kitchen. The couple have also
collected several functional pieces
26 • Sept/Oct 2023 • Southern Indiana Living
Floyd County’s Pottenbaker
Artist Karl deGraaf creates visually intriguing, useful art
of the world-famous Dutch pottery
known as Delftware, made in Delft,
Netherlands.
DeGraaf believes that a piece
of pottery is not truly finished until
it is used in daily life. His stoneware
is all safe for food and is
dishwasher- and microwave-safe.
“Handmade pottery should bring

inspiring moments of artful living
to everyday routines,” deGraaf
said.
During construction, his coffee
mugs receive the most attention. “A
mug is a very personal object that
has the potential to create strong
emotional reactions for the user,”
deGraaf said. “For example, a mug

handle is like an extended hand.
The handle is so important that I
add a little thumb rest on top of all
my handles, so the user’s thumb is
happy to spend time there.”
He often hears stories from
past customers about the lives his
mugs have lived. One person wrote
him a lengthy letter: “I have carried
this mug from South Bend to
Bowling Green, on to Aberdeen,
SouthDakota, and now to Eastern
Michigan University,” the letter
writer wrote. “It has always been
front and center on my desk, and I
hate to think how many thousands
of cups of coffee this art piece has
held over the years. … It is still operational
and as good looking a cup
as anyone could ask for,” the letter
concluded. DeGraaf has saved
this letter because it reinforces his
impression that his mugs have become
part of intimate little daily
rituals across the country, and even
around the world.
Artistic expression also plays a
role in deGraaf’s practice, so that his
pieces are not only useful, but visually
intriguing and compositionally
strong. Dutch painters Vincent van
Gogh and Piet Mondrian, among
others, have inspired his work. A
few paintings by these artists hang
in deGraaf’s gallery where he displays
his own best pieces. The close
proximity of a van Gogh painting
to a deGraaf vase reveals the influence.
Van Gogh’s swirling brushstrokes,
for example, are referenced
in the wavy lines engraved in some
of deGraaf’s pottery.
For a recent exhibit, “Forms,
Functions, and Faces,” at Harrison
County Arts, deGraaf departed
from his norm to create several nonfunctional
clay faces. “They were
playful experiments,” deGraaf said
of these engaging faces. After the
show, when he brought the pieces
back to his studio, he felt compelled
to make them functional by affixing
them to vases.
DeGraaf’s studio is divided
into distinct rooms: a room for tools,
a glazing room where he mixes his
own glazes, a kiln room and his favorite,
the wet clay building room
where he throws pieces on his pottery
wheel or builds them by hand
from slabs. “With my hands immersed
in wet clay,” deGraaf said,
“I am like a kid playing in the
mud.”
One wall of this wet clay room
is lined with large windows, so that
Artistic expression
also plays a role
in deGraaf’s
practice, so that
his pieces are not
only useful, but
visually intriguing
and compositionally
strong. Dutch
painters Vincent
van Gogh and
Piet Mondrian,
among others, have
inspired his work.

while he works, deGraaf has a view
of a grove of white pine that he
planted himself in 1983. He enjoys
talking about the trees, the forest
and its future development, all the
while demonstrating how to press
an oak leaf into wet clay to create
a design on a mug. His practical
Dutch sensibility – as he envisions
the future uses of the forest and his
pottery – is clear and apparent. •

Everyday Adventures
The Biggest
Road Trip
When I was four years old,
I took the biggest road
trip of my childhood. Of
course we wouldn’t have
had to go far to earn that title. But this
was legit: 700 miles.
Most of the places I’d ever been
were within five to ten miles of my
house. If we drove the sixteen miles to
Corydon, that was a big deal. The 35-
mile trip to Clarksville was considered
going “up town,” which was basically
like traveling to New York City. And
crossing the river to Louisville? Forget
about it. You needed a passport for a
trip like that.
So when my aunt joined the army
and ended up stationed in Savannah,
Georgia, I couldn’t even get my head
around how far away that must be, until
my family decided to drive there.
Unfortunately for me, the people
in charge of this trip, my grandma and
my young mom, hadn’t done a whole
lot of traveling either. But that didn’t
stop them from throwing me and my
teenage uncles into the family station
wagon and heading south.
At least that was the plan. Somewhere
around Tennessee, which is normally
a short state to cross on the way
to Georgia, we got turned around and
ended up heading west. When you
drive across Tennessee in that direction,
it’s actually a long state, like a really
long state.
Eventually, though, we ended up
back on track. By this time, however, my
confidence in my family’s navigational
skills was rapidly diminishing. Somewhere
in the Smoky Mountains, when
the sun began to set, I was pretty much
done. It was obvious I was nowhere
near home, and this trip didn’t seem to
be ending anytime soon.
That’s about the time I started crying,
“I want my dad.” I wasn’t really
sure how I’d ended up in this mess, but
I knew if my dad were there, he would
protect me and somehow get us home.
In 47 years, not a lot has changed
in my life. I’ve done a little more traveling
since I was four, but, like all of us,
sometimes still find myself feeling lost,
lonely, and homesick. Not in the geographic
sense, but in my soul.
There are times when we may all
end up on some spiritually dark roads
feeling far away from home. It may be
because we took a wrong turn or maybe
because someone else was at the wheel
or perhaps it’s just one of those places
life takes us.
Regardless of how we end up
there, the best way forward is the one
I chose as a preschooler: crying out for
our Dad.
My dad on earth is a great guy, but
when we ran into trouble in Tennessee,
he didn’t happen to be there at the time.
But my Dad in heaven? He’s always just
a prayer away, and when we cry out to
Him, He has the power to reach into
the darkness and help us find our way
home.
Many years ago, a friend of God
named David talked about this very
thing. He once imagined traveling to the
ends of the earth: up in the sky, down in
the deepest caves and across the ocean
and beyond. In each of these far off
If we drove the sixteen miles to Corydon, that
was a big deal. The 35-mile trip to Clarksville
was considered going “up town,” which was
basically like traveling to New York City.
places David declared, “even there your
hand will guide me, your right hand
will hold me fast” (Psalm 139:10 NIV).
It doesn’t matter how dark of a place we
may end up in life, David said. God is
already there.
So the next time you find yourself
feeling lost or alone, cry out to One who
wants to protect you and guide you like
a good father should. Even if you’ve
never talked to Him before, He’s there
just waiting for you to ask Him to lead
you home. •

“I GOT WORLD-CLASS CARE EVERY DAY AND
GOT TO COME HOME EVERY NIGHT.”
— Kim Pinnick, Cancer Success Story
When Kim Pinnick was diagnosed with cancer, she wanted the best possible care. Fortunately, she found it
close to home — at Baptist Health Floyd and Baptist Health Louisville. Her team developed a treatment plan
that allowed Kim to keep a regular routine. “I was able to come home after treatment, sleep in my own bed,
and still get amazing care,” she said. Today, Kim is in remission and enjoying life, but said she will always be
grateful for the care she received. “My journey showed me that I can be strong. With Baptist, I didn’t have
to be by myself on that journey,” she said. Visit BaptistHealth.com/CancerRisk to learn more about your
risk for cancer and see which screenings may be right for you.
