Day 33 - Boyd Bonanza

Some may recall that our odyssey last year connected us with long time school buddy, Randy and his wife Denise, the Boyds. Turns our their daughter lives in Kentucky and their multi-month, 5th-wheel travel adventure finds them here in Lexington. They, like us, love it here. We've had several opportunities to connect, and we've taken full advantage.

We mentioned the big fat Greek Easter spread at their daughter's. Next, they invited us to their towed, Taj Mahal for dinner. We enjoyed another yummy meal at the awesome campgrounds of the Kentucky Horse Park where their Hilton on wheels was tethered.

Earlier this week we had them over to the barn to meet Gunner and enjoy some home cooked Lasagne. Gunner was more than accommodating and cordial and the dinner was great!

Finally, we enjoyed a day traversing scintillating Kentucky backroads en route to Woodford Reserve Distillery for a tour and tasting; tasting is my favorite part at Woodford. Then on to Frankfort for a four mile stroll to include parts of downtown, the capitol building, and a Frank Lloyd Wright treasure.

We've had a blast with Denise and Randy! Sadly, we leave Kentucky and the Fink Farm on Monday and likely won't see them again for a while. We've enjoyed every minute. It's really special when you can be miles from home base and still get together with warm friends. 

We encountered a few more blips on the radar this outing; but I think that's all a part of life. If you live long enough, or participate in enough adventures, you're going to encounter a little rain. This trip included the water leak and 2000 mile detour back home, a cancellation of a concert we had prepaid to attend today in Memphis, and the cancellation of the place we were to stay in Wells, Maine. next month. Well...every cloud has a silver lining it seems!

Here's the place we found at the eleventh hour in Maine. Now who's complaining? It, too, is a farm, an organic farm. The operators supply you each day with fresh eggs and produce from the crops they grow. Maybe...just maybe...it's not so bad that the condo in Wells. ME cancelled.
