Saturday adventures

 Last Saturday was another sunny gorgeous day so we decided to do some more exploring and see what else we could discover in Kentucky.  First off we headed out to Sandy Hook, and of course the roads were winding and hilly and took us through rural areas and we saw lovely farms and small towns.  In Sandy Hook we came across a cemetary and a statue of one of Kerry's favorite country singer and song-writer.  Not quite sure if this is where Keith Whitley was buried, but he did come from this town.
 We drove on from there and came to Carter Caves State Park and did a bit of exploring there.We saw a stream coming from what looked like a cave
 and when we crossed and got up close we say a waterfall coming out of the rocks.  It was totally amazing and beautiful, not made by human hands that's for sure.
 After leaving there we headed to another area of the park and went for a short hike and found this natural bridge.
 Did a bit of exploring there, and again were awed  by the creation out there.  So different than what we see at home.
 We saw water pouring out of a hole in the mountain, to join a small stream down below.

 We left the park and drove on and found some man made attractions.  The covered bridge is now closed to traffic but we did walk over it.  On our way back to camp, we found a place for ice cream, and enjoyed the sunshine  while we enjoyed our treat.  It looked like a fun place to eat supper too, but we just were not hungry for BBQ at that point, or even for froglegs, which we saw on the appetizer menu.And the last picture is just a fun one of me for all my grandkids who might be looking at this post.  We continued back to camp through another state park , the road winding alongside Cave Run Lake.

A few pictures from week 5

 We finished off another good week last Friday, more work done and more started too.   The first picture shows our tool trailer, which is parked in town, and Kerry and Elmer discussing what needs to be done next.
 The ramp at the Cathy house is done.  Isn't it a beauty.  Finally Cathy could come and see her house, first time since the tornado.
 Started a new build this week.  With the help of some Amish young men we got a good start on this home.  The front of this home looks out over the valley and the owners saw the tornado coming and pick up a house before they took shelter in their own basement.
 Our second start for last week is just down the road from the other one.  This owner didn't see the tornado coming and was lying in his bed when the tornado hit and moved his house over 44 inches.
 The second last picture shows Betty's house and the deck being built on the side.  This house is getting pretty close to done, but I don't know if we will be here to see her move in.
 And lastly, our group shot from last week.  It was a fun group, lots of joking, teasing and laughter but still very sincere and hard working.

A few pictures from West Liberty

 Have been enjoying the birds here.  They are not the same ones we get to see back home, and especially not this time of year.  First one show the eastern bluebird,
 Next picture shows the bright red cardinals we are enjoying watching.
 This past weekend was a snowy, cold, grey weekend here, but by today, the snow is all gone and we are enjoying a lovely sunny warm day.And lastly, the group from last week, 2 separate groups from PA, plus 7 long term and we were at 30.  We decided not to make everyone move for the group picture because that might make for too much confusion.  This is how full up we were last week, but we had fun together, and once again, got a lot of work done, and had good fellowship around the tables.
