Well, I left out early Friday afternoon and went down to Cumberland Falls State Park for our annual magic Unconvention.  The fellowship, food, and shows were excellent.  Due to just sitting around till all hours in the night,( 3:00 A.M.) and getting up early each morning ( 7:30), I was totally relaxed, but, also worn out!  I didn't get to go out and take pictures though it was beautiful weather for it. 
  When I got home today (after 2 1/2 hour drive) I had to crash for a 3 hour nap.  Then, I went out and worked for about 2 hours to make up carryover work from being off Friday night.

  Check out this picture and you can decide for yourself if I was having a good time!

Heading out Friday for Cumberland Falls State Park down near Corbin, Kentucky for our annual Unconventional Magic Convention.
Weather is supposed to be clear and warm.  Hope to maybe drive down into Tennessee and check out some places I've never been.  Have packed the camera, so, maybe will have something to show for the trip.

Got some nice weather today....grabbed camera and went out shooting some Fall colors around town this morning.

Weather past couple of weeks has been pretty cool and lots of rain. That kind of put a damper on my "camping" down at the cabin.  However, I did go down  last Sunday and shot a few pictures on  the way.
  

  Last night I took the dogs and headed for the cabin.  Though it was a terrible rainy night, I was very content just sitting back in the rocking chair on the porch, sipping on coffee, watching a DVD, listening to the frogs, crickets, and constant rain on the tin roof.  Yep.....I slept like a baby....except for the times that one of the damn dogs wanted to hog room on my small cot!
  
   A couple of weeks ago, Marisa said that we need to give the cabin a name....other than "Marisa's Cabin".  So, we decided on naming it the "Reed Cabin".
This was based upon several factors.  The first being that the part of the farm where it is located was part of the my Grt Grt Grandfather Eboneezer Reed who purchased the farm for his son Thomas Reed back around 1850.  It was then passed down to Hattie Reed Bell ( my Grandmother), then to Reed Bell (Father), to me, and someday hopefully to Marisa Reed Bell.  It was my Dad's idea to build a cabin at this location some 40 years ago, however, he just never got around to it.
  Construction is moving along smoothly.  The attached photos will show the completed front porch (along with loafing rocker), the cedar siding on front, side porch deck is done (side porch roof  hope to have done in a week or so), dry-wall is being finished up today, wood burning stove is installed and working great!

Next major project....building the outhouse!

Marisa and her friend Elizabeth (both are Nurses at Louisville Hospitals) decided to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city on Tuesday night and just "chill out at the farm".
Since the cabin is not finished, they opted to spend the night at the "Crazyman's Lodge" located about 1/4 mile up the lane. 
I dropped by with the dogs to mooch supper.

Friday night I skipped out of work early so I could get down to the farm before dark.  (Had to make up the missed work on Sunday). 
Grabbed a few supplies and the mutts, and got down to the cabin just before dark.  Was able to set up a cot in the nearly completed cabin, so to spend the night there with the dogs.  With a little portable stove, I was able to fix supper (Campbell's Soup) and hot water for instant coffee.  ( Gotta get me a drip coffee pot!)  Sat on the porch for several  hours letting the dogs run free.... perfectly content sippin on my coffee and listening to the "sounds of country"!
  Saturday night I attended a 60th Birthday Party for the graduation Class of 1967.  This is the 3rd reunion of sorts that we've had in the past 3 years.  Which is odd, because we never did much as a group in High School, only had a 10 year reunion (which few people attended) and then our 40th which was well attended.
  Got the pleasure of getting to work about 3 hours Sunday, then about 5 hours on Labor Day!  Kim and I went to Lexington for a cook-out Monday Evening.  This is the first "social event" we have attended in about 3 years!
