Farmer Ann Plans A Vacation

A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you've been taking.
Earl Wilson



Oh joy, oh joy.  My sister and my daughter and my nephew have offered to give me and Jim a week's vacation this summer.  (Bout time).

No, really, I am so grateful.

(only been doing this for 5 &@*#%$! years)

No, really, it's great to get time away and I love it that they can make it happen.

(GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!)

Sorry guys, writer's license.

So, what to do?  what to do.

I looked at the canadian rockies, but Jim doesn't have a passport.

I looked at Silverton CO, but it's so hard to get there

I looked at Colorado Springs but I did that with Mom years ago.

I looked at Charleston, but that was too near.

Jim suggested Washington DC, but hell will freeze over before I go in an election year.

I looked at Key Largo and the Everglades, yeah right, in July...

I looked at the Shennendoah Valley, but it covered too much territory.

I look at Lexington Kentucky,  OOOOOHHH.  It's got wineries, it's got breweries, it's got distilleries, it's got war of northern aggression sites, it's got bluegrass music, it's only 10 hours away.   SCORE.

So here is where we will be staying for 6 days.


Historic 1780's Log & Stone House with Modern Conveniences

Nestled in the rolling hills of Kentucky's horse country, our restored log and stone house is located on a working cattle and horse farm. Rodgers Creek runs beside the house and empties into larger Stoner Creek close by. A view from the kitchen overlooks Creekview Farm, a Coolmore property. From the opposite dining area window, cows and calves could be grazing in the field.

DOUBLE SCORE

So I booked the house, am booking the wardens' flights, and will dream of booking out in July.
