Moving on

Tonight I write from a campground just north of Columbus, Ohio.    We're moving along toward home, we'll be at our lake on Sunday.

We really enjoyed the week with our former neighbors, our good friends in their new Kentucky home.

an equine themed house for the birds in the woods....
We shared happy hour and dinner every day, sometimes in the house and sometimes on their lovely screened in porch.   Cindy made yummy banana muffins for second cup a few days.    Dave and Walter did a bit of work together, the five of us did a bit of exploring the area in general and their farm in particular, we socialized with their friends at various places and were able to spend good, quality time together.

Tristan and Hoopla were curious....

until Hoopla became bored and went to sleep

we walked the newly cleared driving trails through the woods

One day we drove into the small town of Sanford, KY. for lunch at the delightful Bluebird Cafe, a bustling farm to table spot.




Cindy enjoys the last half of her ridiculously good burger




And one day we drove into Lexington for a tour of Old Kentucky Chocolates.  Oh   My   Goodness.

 Himalayan Pink Sea Salt Chocolate Covered Potato Chips.......Kentucky Moonshine Truffles.....Bourbon Cherry Truffles, Chocolate Covered Grapes....Chocolate Covered Soft Caramels with Fleur de Sel, Chocolate Covered every kind of nut known to man......Mint Julip Truffles......drool, burp.

samples, so many samples

Our time with the Pond's went by too fast.   Until next time then, Thanks you three, we had a really wonderful time!
