Without getting super sentimental and sloppy, I just feel compelled to combine Memorial Day with a little thanksgiving celebration. We are so fortunate to be living our dream and sharing it with good friends and family. We're especially grateful for finding the Finks and their fabulous property here in Lexington. Mike and Michelle are the consummate host and hostess. Here we are, invading their space and upending their routine while their lives go on with all the responsibility of running a first class business. Their place is always immaculate and they always have a kind word and friendly greeting every time we cross paths. Our hats are off to you awesome people with whom we are honored to have become friends.
Next imagine that we have been graced with visits from my brother and sister-in-law, Al & Jo; Texas friends Charlie, Cindy and Beth; and, of course, our bedouin buddies from all places unknown, Willie and Pete. We've also made a visit to Atlanta to see son, Nathan and Kori. Like Lizzy's tee-shirts read..."Life is Good!"
Happy hour with Willie, Pete and Beth
Our magical stay ends this week. Beth leaves and heads to Lake Placid tomorrow; but, we'll see her again up there next week. Pete and Willie are riding out the storm, Alberto, which is headed for their Florida home in Tallahassee. They'll be with us a few more days.
Liz and I have enjoyed being enthralled playing tour guide and showing off Kentucky like it was our second home. Who knows? Maybe someday that's exactly what it may become. We've visited all the surrounding cities, a couple of distilleries, Keeneland Race Track several times, found new eating haunts and spent cool evening just enjoying the Kentucky sunsets.
Awesome Kentucky Sunset
After you've lived or spent extended time somewhere it's easy to become complacent. Kentucky, especially "horse country," never seems to wear out its welcome. Just cruising around the area is soothing to the soul. The following are some of our last fews days' adventures:
