Souvenirs

We are home after a nine-day trip to visit family, attend a family reunion, sightsee, and have a brief getaway.

Our souvenirs include:

  • a lot of mosquito bites on my legs and arms,
  • home-canned green beans,
  • a jar of homemade apple butter,
  • a set of hand-stitched days of the week kitchen towels [Does anyone know the history of these?],

  • another afghan,
  • a few new recipes I made for the weekend & which are definitely keepers,
  • a number tag from my first 3K (except it was non-competitive, so there is no number),
  • 313 photos (from my simple point & shoot),








  • an introduction to another world (thanks to a day of touring horse farms & the KY Horse Park and driving back roads through the Bluegrass Region), 
  • gratitude for good weather (especially since my parents' area was hammered by destructive storms the day after we left),
  • memories from the family reunion ~ time with people I hadn't seen in nine years & getting to introduce Jim,  :)
  • and full hearts!
