Up at 8 to go to Greystone to help cut wood for their Log Day. Ended up on Blue Bank Road loading logs into Joe-Ben after they were cut by James, Mingus, and Drew. Unloaded that truckload, and then helped Mombo get ready so that she could visit at Greystone and “inspect.” She enjoyed talking […]

I don’t like the term “Black Friday.” Too ominous. Cooked some more: baked turnips, pumpkin butter, gooseberry pie, pecan pie. Mom and I worked on cleaning out her desk. Made dvd of VIETNAM HD for James. I’ll never be able to watch it. Jerome, Janet, and Juliana came to hike on their land. Greystone […]

Well, maybe it was 6:30. Potatoes peeled. Card table and chairs out of the closet and table clothes on. I brined the turkeys. Pretty good. Maybe a little salty. Caitlan made roasted broccoli and cauliflower, butternut squash ice cream pie with gingersnap crust and her home-cooked pumpkin pie. Also a spicy pumpkin buttered rum drink […]

I need to do this because I am my mother’s daughter. What if I forget everything? I’ll try harder to write a bit every day. Just a bit. Who’s it for? For my kids. And for me when I can’t remember any more.
Today is the day before Thanksgiving. I left Kelley Ridge around noon […]

I flew away before dawn and was able to see the sun rise over the wing of an American Airlines jet. Breathtaking. Bless Caitlan for getting me to the airport at that early hour.
Note to self: When traveling alone, always check a bag.
Note to self 2: When not checking a bag, make sure your carry-on […]

After a visit to Mombo at the hospital I went up the road to L-ville. Mombo is fine. She had a procedure done to clear out an artery and will spend the night for observation. KK and Kyle met me at Fred’s where I will leave my car while I am in Portland doing my […]

Since Dana, Kyle’s mom, is the secretary for the Presbyterian Church, the people there held a luncheon/celebration for Kyle and Caitlan’s wedding. They collected money for them. It was really a nice thing to do.

Actually they went to a gala to raise funds for the opera and bid (with their group of friends) on a trip to Greece in September! Classy!!

We had the 2010 race at the Keep, and for the first time TwoTrees Racing (now Kelley Ridge Racing) was left entirely up to me! Once Brendan took over the broadcast booth for me, then Ian and Caitlan wer in charge of racing the cars, and I just sat back and watched. But yesterday I […]

I was able to get away from work by 4:30 today and head to Bardstown where I met with the Honeymooners for dinner at The Olde Tavern. It was so much fun to see them. First we loaded into their car a wonderful present from Patti, tv tables, then some clothes of Caitlan’s, her wallet […]
