Somedays you feel like the fox...others you feel like the duck

This picture was taken many years ago at Cumberland Lake, in Harmon Creek I believe.

I have no clue why I like a beer...

What no Coors Light? I wish I still had the hat!

Great weekend....

Justin came home last Friday!!!! It was so good to see him and spend some time just talking. We went to Louisville Friday night to visit Sara, Tommy, Ella and Jack. It had been a while since Jus had spent time with E and J and they were happy to see Unky. We had a fantastic visit and were up early to drive to Lexington to participate in the Team Libby Golf Outing. The golf outing was put together by friends of Justin and Libby, specifically Ryan. It was a fantastic day of beautiful weather, good golf and seeing people that I have not seen for a long time. Thanks to all of the friends who organized, and friends and family who played in the event or attended and helped make it a success. It was so moving to see friends as well as family be there for Jus and Libby. I also want to thank everyone who sponsored the event...the hole sponsors as well as the corporate sponsors. By the way our foursome was 6 under...not near good enough to win...but a lot of fun.

Friday night we went to the Kentucky game. It was a homecoming for Justin. He graduated from UK and was excited to return to Lexington. UK won a close game. It was a great game to see. Justin, Tommy, Chris and I had a great time. The place was rockin!!!!

End of the game...the fans were rushing the field.

We all went to BW3s after the game...then home to get some much needed rest. Justin had to be at the airport to return to Chesapeake early Sunday. It was a fantastic visit. I am so proud of Justin. He and Libby are so strong. Thanks to everyone for prayers... Libby is through 1/3 of her chemo.

Sunday was beautiful so Shirl and I took a motorcycle ride to Rabbit Hash and spent the afternoon there looking at motorcycles, talking, enjoying some good wine, and riding the beautiful winding Boone County country roads. Riding has always been very relaxing for me, a time to think and chill, and on this day a time to be thankful.

Sorry Shirl...this is the best my cell phone will do.

What a fantastic weekend... tomorrow back to work...for now!

Weekend at the lake

Ella and Jack spent the weekend on Dock Holiday this weekend. They had a wonderful time and were able to get in their last swim of the year in their little pool. Nothing makes a trip to the lake more enjoyable than watching grandchildren having a great time. E and J are great kids and love spending time on Dock Holiday... They watched videos...played...swam...jumped in the jumper... visited with neighbors, and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Shirl and I had a great time as well. Thanks Sara and Tommy

Looks like Jack to me...

I can only tell my closest friends about the injury I sustained here.

The kids used to work on the boat!

Check out the hair before I dyed it gray.
