Happy
Thanksgiving! Only one more month to go!! Our last day is Dec 23!
We will be meeting some
other Amazon work campers for Thanksgiving dinner this evening. We woke up to 25 degrees and frost. A good day to stay inside and enjoy our newly
installed Direct TV. Yea – TV again!!
Work has
kept us close to the coach. We are so
tired after our 10 hour shift that we don’t go anywhere, unless it is to
dinner. 😊 Then,
on our days off, it is laundry and grocery shopping. Not much time to explore.
There are
not that many choices for places to eat here.
However we have purchased a meal ticket from Campbellsville
University. It’s a pretty good deal -
$60 for 10 meals. At least the salads
are fresh and no dishes to do.
We did visit
Mammoth Cave National Park a couple weeks ago.
However, after going to the Cave Without a Name in Boerne, TX, we were
disappointed in the Mammoth Cave tour, even though it is the largest cave in the
world with over 400 miles of tunnels. We
only took one tour, so maybe the others are more dazzling.
We toured a
local distillery with our friends, Mark and Kathy from Tennessee. The Limestone Distillery is not one of the
original 8 Kentucky Bourbon tour sites but is one of the very few American
owned distilleries still in operation.
This was started by one of the Jim Beam cousins and is the sole provider
of bourbon for the famous Mint Julip at the Kentucky Derby each year. It was so refreshing to go here because it is
still family owned and operated. We were
able to see all aspects of the production.
Very nice.
Linda, Hi. Happy Thanksgiving to you all, too. We are having our tomorrow because of schedules. Know you enjoyed being with friends for THANKSGIVING. You were dressed pretty lite for cold country! In that last picture, was that at the Kentucky Derbie Sure? I saw the horse sculpture in metal there in the foreground and wondered. So who owns the other distilleries, if not Americans? I am glad that there is one still owned by family. ( That was a small silky play on words, Linda!)😂Love you and let me hear more from you. M
