Hampton Inn Danville Ky

We stayed right next to the shore of the lake and the weather was perfect and warm. We even took the electric blanket off the bed, it was the first time this summer we didn't have to use it. Ray and Christa

For the Fourth of July, my parents came to visit. We had a great time cooking out, watching the parade in Lexington, and shooting off fire works. Shakers Village is just a short drive from our house and definately worth seeing. We toured the grounds and learned about the unique life-style of the Shakers. The restaurant there has the best home-cooked meals with original recipes dating back to the mid-1800's.

... my Dad, Brother, and I got caught in a huge snowstorm. My Dad had a Maverick that was provided to him by the Navy for recruiting. He tried to drive it home and we ended up having to abandon the car and walk about a mile the rest of the way home. This was the start of a period where we must have missed about a month of school. We had a ton of fun playing in the snow and sledding down hills. Another memory was when my brother and I got into more ...

June was filled with tourists! Somedays Joseph and I think we should open up a bed and breakfast! I'm teasing, but, spring and early summer are great times to visit me and Joseph in Kentucky because there's a lot to do and the weather is so pleasant. Joseph's parents (Jim and Carla) visited us and go to bet ...

... We had snowmelt for refreshments!!!! I am in recovery mode......we rode a short 3 miles today!! Bought a half gallon of milk today for less than $3......in Yosemite!!!!. I'm about to have a chocolate shortage!!! They have 18 miles of bike paths, so we have enjoyed our journerys around the valley and to the trails. We haven't used the ...

... She's not even clapping!" I had to laugh. She said she really liked the show, though. After the show we searched the town for some food, but ended up at Wal-Mart picking up some snacks and eating picnic style in the hotel. She spent the night, but had to leave really early in the morning so that she could drive back home and attend Chris's Army departure ceremony with my mom. I was bummed I was not able to go with her.

... doesn't slow. Rick is a hero, he mastered it brilliantly. We stopped near Modesto at an In'N'Out Burger for lunch and then headed to Mariposa where we got some groceries so we could cook our own tea for the next 2 nights (have a small kitchenette). Found a small health food shop that had quite a few gluten free items so picked up bread, pasta (box like the San Remo gf pasta) and a frozen enchillada dinner, all for $10.77 (my coeliac friends will know how cheap that is in comparison ...

THE STILL HOUSE Funny how something with the word "still" in it can be such a hotbed of activity. The Still House is a working distrillery with an antique roller mill that crushes the grain to the giant cypress tubs full of sour mash to the "white dog" (new whisky) running through the "spirit safe ...

... back to town we passed the antique store on the welcome page of this blog. Just couldn't resist a chance for a picture, the store must not get very many shoppers if they put a sign on the door telling you to honk at the house. After getting back to town we drove around Danville looking for a "hometown" restaurant. Downtown rolls the sidewalks up early, we didn't find anyone downtown, everything was closed. I read somewhere that Danville ...
