Yesterday In Versailles, Kentucky

Yesterday we went to the Woodford Reserve Distillery with Genevieve and Joe from Louisville. We know Joe from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst but we only knew Genevieve from Joe's house and the Magnolia Bar last week. She was sick then but she was even more sick this time.

We learnt all about Kentucky bourbon whiskey. In the movie, the porch, the bus, the fermentor, the mash cooker, the stills, the warehouse, the bottler, the gift shop and then the table. You can learn too on the internet! Driving back to Versailles, Kentucky on the McKracken Pike we saw the sun setting over horses and fields and fences. We stood on the fences and got cold. It has snowed in Kentucky and is no longer springtime. We ate tacos at the Taco Cafe. The waitress of the Taco Cafe is currently sitting across from me at the Woodford Country Library.

Then we watched all 231 minutes of Gods and Generals, all the special features and still wanted more.

hullo loren and alex..kathleen and i say hullo we just did a copwatch patrol. it was fruitful. we drank wine but not on patrol like the grapes of wrath. but better and we aren't okies or sooners hm. too bad it snowed and your eternal springtime was gone away. kathleen says hello, again. now we are eating chocolate. it is good. rose and erick came for the week. erick cut off his finger tip it looks cool, the cast at least. rose and i had a fun time mostly doing nothing. the house is not too messy and the chickens are alive. i am slightly inebriated, but not enough to type poorly, just enough to make nonsense. are you on the bus yet? caleb's real birthday is on the tenth. too bad you both are missing the party.

bye bye bye!

I love that I could just type in Loren and Alex and West on Google and I was able to find your little blog. I have scanned my photos of our adventure in Versailles to my computer and want to send you the pictures. You should let me know your little email address so you can post some fun pictures. Hope couple counseling is working out okay for you two and hope that our next dinner together goes smoother.
