CATCH - UP
It's been quite awhile since I've blogged anything at all. Seems like there wasn't time or inclination to sit down and post anything. I think Ruth got me started by asking about pictures from Rusty and Shari's wedding.
After Paul and I returned from our Sicily trip at the end of February, we left in mid-March for Kentucky and the wedding of Ruth and John's son, Rusty to Shari. We had a great time - a wonderful wedding. Our only set-back was car trouble Big Time. We extended our stay in KY and with the rental car and became tourists for a few days. We toured and stayed in Bardstown at one of the oldest on-going inns in the US, visited the Trappist Monestary of Gethesemene ( Thomas Merton's place ), Marker's Mark Distillery, the Patton and Armaments Museum in Ft. Knox, and one of the Mammouth caves ( we did the cave tour with Ruth, John, Ray and Dodie ). Turned out to be a great vacation and Ford Motors finally reimbursed part of our car repair.
We made a short visit to see Kate and Gareth for her birthday in late March - Had a nice evening with them and their good friends, Luke and Amber ( both in K & G's wedding ). I guess we're home for awhile and will re-group! Marty
