Good morning, my friends. It’s our last morning in Kentucky. We’ll be heading due west when we get underway, crossing back into Illinois (and into the central time zone), and then backtracking a little bit to a COE (Corps of Engineers) park for the night. From there, we'll move on to Missouri the next day. It’s going to be a lot of driving over the next couple of days. It’ll be a good test for my seat cushion. My hip is doing better. I thought I felt a little twinge yesterday while we were out ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. We had another relaxing day. It was Mike's birthday, and so I made him his beloved Eggs Benedict for breakfast. After breakfast, I went to work making a small dessert for our birthday dinner celebration. I tried a recipe for Lemon Pudding Cakes for Two. I happen to love pudding cake of any kind. Since I had everything I needed on hand, it was an easy choice. They had to bake for 45 minutes. When they came from the oven, they looked like this:

Good morning, my friends. We had a do-nothing day yesterday. We've been doing so much sight-seeing and driving, it's nice to just sit still and do nothing for a bit. Sunday was my birthday. Today is Mike's birthday. That can mean only one thing...Eggs Benedict for breakfast.

Good morning, my friends! It's our last morning in Bowling Green. When we get ourselves around, we'll continue on a journey to our eastern-most stop this trip at Georgetown, Kentucky. It's just a little bit north of Lexington, and about a three-hour drive. We don't have much planned for the area except to visit a horse ranch. We want to see the thoroughbreds. We're told it's foaling season, and so we should see some young foals.
Backing up to our day yesterday, I spent some time on my embroidery, finishing off the roof and ...

read moreIt was kind of a nasty day weather-wise. We had some dry spells, but we also had some real downpours of rain while we were out and about yesterday. We're hoping for better weather today. We have a plan to take a walk in historic downtown Bowling Green. We'll see how the morning plays out. The forecast isn't looking promising. In any case, we're having lunch at a nearby brewery in hopes of scoring another beer t-shirt for Erik.

Good morning, my friends. It's a good thing I have lots of pictures for you today. We can both just sit back and relax. I did almost nothing yesterday. The day off was very nice, and I'm happy to report my pain level is back to pretty much zero. (At my age, we're not ever quite at zero.)
The only thing I accomplished yesterday was getting Smitty out for some more Cattucky grass.
The people with the big woofies moved on and so the space beside us was empty. I've realized if I carry him around ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. And it is a good morning because I'm happy to report that my hip pain has improved until it is almost non-existent. It's hard to believe because it was nearly unbearably painful for the past two days. We went on the Maker's Mark tour yesterday, which involved a LOT of walking. Sorry, no shuttle bus for the day. After the tour, we were able to pick up my medicine. I took one 20mg tablet of prednisone and a muscle relaxant, and today, the pain is nearly gone. It's practically a miracle.
