After our big day on Friday, I headed to Danville to stop by the art center and see John’s original watercolor for the Brass Band Festival poster. I had to purchase a poster for myself and have it signed. It is magnificent (portraits of various hornblowers)–reminded me of when Wayne and I first came to […]

Today Mom got up at 7:30 because she knew she had to fast before her blood draw. We went to Danville to Dr. Aumiller’s office where they took her blood (we had stopped at Wal-mart first to drop off her film). Then we went into Lexington to St. Joe Office Park. She ate her breakfast […]

For those of you who don’t know–but I’m sure that you all do–my mom has had triple bypass surgery. I have been updating people by email, but I thought it might be a good idea to do a post as well. She was in the hospital 11 days. She would have been home in 10, […]

Good Friday. Thank you, Lord, or the gift of your Son. Today Judy and Charles came at 10 a.m., and we headed out to Leeds Castle after a breakfast of tea and fish sandwiches. Leeds Castle was crowded because it was a holiday, so we had to queue up to get in. Once you have […]

Today was hiking day. We ate brunch at Jerome’s and Janet’s (our baguettes) and hiked around the golf course to the Wheatsheaf pub in bough Beech. It was a beautiful day–bright and sunny. We stopped for J2O for KK, ale and beer for Jerome and me, and wine for Janet. Then more hiking to Chiddingstone […]

This was our whirlwind tour of Oxford day. We spent a lot of time on trains. We would have left earlier but couldn’t get a taxi from Hever Hotel until later. Then we went from Edenbridge to Redhill to Reading to Oxford with some fast runs and a few missed trains in between. Luckily there’s […]

Quite amazing day. We slept in late and then went to J & J’s room where we brunched on fruit, cheese, hummus, and muffin. KK down-loaded all our pictures to her laptop. Then we started walking down Hever Road. It was a little scary because some places in the road had no shoulder. It was […]

It is so wonderful to have Caitlan home. Unfortunately, she caught a bug somewhere along the line (maybe on the plane), so her first week home wasn’t the most pleasant. She and Kyle were able to eat dinner here in Campbellsville with Janet and me before she got sick. Janet made delicious taco soup. I […]

Friday–Saw Torrance Rylee, finally, and she fell asleep on my chest Groupies at Deb’s with heavenly potato cheese soup Spent the night at Sharon’s, served tea before bedtime Saturday–Took Camry to Miller’s for gasket replacement Sharon picked me up and dropped me at 4th saying she had a few errands before helping me paint Her […]

I never had a hard time not eating meat on Ffidays because I liked the food that we did have. I only remember one time that I was tempted to eat meat–Friday night football games and hot dogs. In those days we always had pizza and spaghetti with meat, and Mombo made vegetable soup and […]
