Trip to Kentucky

Last weekend we made a flying trip back home to Kentucky to visit family and attend a wedding.

The wedding was my cousin's son and was held on a terrace overlooking the Ohio river. It was a beautiful setting, however it was about 100 degress that afternoon and I felt sorry especially for the groom and groomsmen in their tuxes. The rest of us stayed inside until time for the wedding, then hurried right back in to the comfort of the air conditioning as soon as the ceremony ended.

Before the ceremony - poor musicians dressed in black. They had to be out in the sun longer than anyone.

I don't know the man with no hair in front of me, but hope he didn't get too sunburned!

Beautiful couple!

Sorry this turned out so dark with the light in front of me.

First Dance.

Congratulations Drew & Sara.

We stayed with my aunt and she has these rabbits that come right up to her patio. Even with us going back and forth gawking at them inside the patio doors, they still didn't move and seemed very comfortable and at home.

We enjoyed our trip, but it was too short to see everyone. I hope we can go back soon and have time to visit more family.

Where has summer gone?

Even though I don't have any little ones at home anymore, it's hard not to realize that school is starting. School supplies rule in the stores and advertisements, all my coworkers with kids are in the midst of all the preparations, and my granddaughter is anxiously awaiting the start of middle school. She still has a couple of weeks before she starts, but lots of kids start back this week.

It seems like summer just started. We took a short vacation in May and the weather was great, and there weren't lots of crowds, but since wee've worked all summer it seems to have just disappeared. I actually missed the heat and crowds of Disneyworld or the beach - and especially taking our granddaughter with us. Next year she has already put in a request to go on a vacation with us - and she wants to go to Chicago to the American Girl store. We'll see.

I wish I had taken my camera tonight to our knitting group. Lots of gorgeous projects! I'm going to put it in my purse for next time. We had a big group tonight too.
