| Our good friends, Neal and Patti |
Hello Blog Friends, There's nothing better in life than visiting with family and/or friends. We met with great friends, Neal and Patti, at a little cabin in Cave City, Kentucky for a couple of days of FUN, FELLOWSHIP and FOOD.... We had a huge amount of all three of those!!!!!! I never laughed so much in my life, never talked so much, and never ate so much!!!!!!!! ha ha ha.... It was GREAT...
Cave City is near Mammoth Cave National Park, and when the four of us visit that area, we don't do what most visitors do at Mammoth Cave. We don't tour the caves. Instead we love the other areas of the park.... SO --today I'll share some of our little trip with you and show you around the area and around out little cabin.. Hope you enjoy seeing a little piece of southern Kentucky.

| We took a little hike on the Sand Cave Trail. |
 |
| This is SAND CAVE.... Don't think I want to go into that cave. You? |
 |
| Patti (she is SO tiny and cute), Neal and George along the Sand Cave Trail |
 |
| We also walked around the Sloans Crossing Pond... This little froggie was enjoying the day!!!! |
 |
| Our little cabin on the hill near Mammoth Cave National Park; The Cabin was TINY for four of us adults---but the view was AWESOME. |
 |
| The view of the valley below from our porch |
 |
| Looking the other way from the porch; See the field of cows below? |
 |
| We all got up early on the 8th to see a beautiful SUNRISE... WOW---it was awesome. |
 |
| BEFORE the sun popped up, this was the early morning sky! Neat, don't you think? |
 |
| Want to travel down this road with me???? These are the kind of roads I LOVE to explore as we traveled back into the deep woods. |
 |
| This is what we saw at the end of that little road (in the picture above)... This is Good Spring Baptist Church --established in 1842. |
 |
| We also visited the Nolin River Lake (and dam). Gorgeous day in Kentucky!!! |
 |
| We didn't see much Fall Color that week --but here's one tree trying to show off some of its yellows and oranges. |
 |
| Want to come and have a picnic with us --and wait to see the sunset????? This picture was taken from our porch the late afternoon on Oct.8... |
 |
| Taken from our porch the same late afternoon (as the picture above); There's more Fall color when the sun hits those trees... |
 |
| SUNSET the evening of October 8; Such a gorgeous sky!!! |
 |
| One more picture of the SUNRISE on October 8--since I managed to take a huge bunch of pictures... ha ha |
 |
| Us at the Mammoth Cave sign!!!!! |
We 'forgot' to try to get a picture of the four of us together --like we usually do --but they took a picture of us and we took a picture of them at the sign.....
The weather was good... It was drizzly and cool the day we got there (7th)... That's why we all have on our rain jackets.... The next day when we spent the day out-and-about, the weather was PERFECT (sunny and temps in the low 70's).....
Several of you have asked about my health... My heart rate is still GOOD (normal sinus rhythm) --and I feel good... I'm off all of the powerful medications except the blood thinner (Xarelto) which I'll be on for the remainder of my life. A Fib is never completely cured --and can come back at anytime.... SO---if it ever does come back, the Xarelto keeps me from having a stroke (which, as you know, is a good thing NOT to have).... SO----other than getting older and slower and having less energy ---I'm doing fine!!!!! Thanks for asking.
Have an awesome week --and catch up with some friends SOON... It's just SO much fun!!!
Hugs,
