My Old Kentucky Home

Leave a reply

The first in a series of entries about our recent trip to the grand old commonwealth of Kentucky. Peter has put all of our pictures from the weekend up in the gallery And he divided the pics into different albums. I’ll make entries that correspond with the albums.

“Around Caanan Land” (Caanan Land Farm Bed and Breakfast in Harrodsburg, Kentucky where Kirsten and Mark Carter (our sister(-in-law) and brother-in-law) are the innkeepers. The farm was just perfect. Quaint, earthy, well kept, comfortable and there was a swimming pool! The family all stayed in the main house and we spent much time with the animals and in the pool and hot tub. The owners of the farm have sold it to new owners and K and M will be moving out in just a few days. We were lucky enough to be able to visit before they had to leave.

Quite the Exhibitionist

Before we launch into the events of the weekend I thought I’d post a tardy update about last Thursday night.

After a semester of planning and preperation my Exhibition Planning class opened our exhibit, “Freeing the Line: The Etchings of Charles H Woodbury.” I feel that the exhibit came out beautifully and that the opening reception was lovely.

I would encourage all of you to head down to Tufts in Medford and take a look at the finished product, but for those of you who can’t (and I think that that is most of our readership) Peter and I took some pictures. You can see them here

Episode Two

Previously in this Blog…We watched as Rebecca ate at Wendy’s, parked at the mall, and watched in horror as a small fire grew outside the Liberty Tree Mall…

…I looked around and was surprised that no one else had taken notice of this growing fire. I walked closer and enjoyed the smell of burning wood chips and mulch. Calmly and confidently I kicked more mulch over the fire and then proceeded to stomp the flames out.

Thereby saving the Mall from complete and utter distruction. BooYah!

The day was Saturday. The mission: Crafty supplies at ACMoore. I had just finished lunch from Wendy’s and was walking through the parking lot at the Liberty Tree Mall. I looked up ahead of me and saw what I thought was smoke. My rational mind kicked in and I reasoned that maybe they had those automatic sprinkler systerms and it was being aired out and that what I saw was steam…but no.

It was indeed smoke. From a rapidly growing little fire. I looked around, surprised that noone else seemed to notice it…

To be continued….(on account of my having to leave work!)

I know you’re all shocked to see a post from me in the Techie category. Frankly I’m surprised as well. Here’s a little story for you.

A couple of Friday’s ago I was sitting on the couch with my Peter and I expressed my burning desire to play old school Nintendo games. Figuring that I would just have to suppress that desire I went back to watching the Friday night drivel on TV.

A short time later I heard the familiar Do-do-do, do-doot-do-do, etc. coming from the den. Peter had made it so that I could play these games on the computer. Woohoo!

I enjoyed playing Super Mario Brothers 1, 2, and 3, but couldn’t get very far in the games. I finally pinpointed the problem. I am the poster-girl for what Peter calls “the movsies”. In other words it is very hard for me to get Mario to jump without making the corresponding moves with my arms. ie. to jump right I would swing my arms to the right. While using the keypad it was impossible to make these movements.

Friday, Peter came home with a present for me. A game controller hand thingy… I can plug it into the computer and play to my heart’s delight.

I’m still not very good, though.

This site has been keeping me quite occupied at work today. It is just a ton of stuff that people have found lying around…Pictures, notes, etc. It is pretty interesting reading the comments about the items.

Here is a rundown of all the things I did this morning between 6:15 and 6:45.

Got up, showered, dressed, made: 1 sandwich, two lunches, 1 breakfast, brushed hair and teeth, kissed the husband in his sleep, ate breakfast, drove the 10 minutes to work, parked, punched in at work.

Phew! I didn’t know I had that kind of speed packed into me!
