    Pre-Thanksgiving Weekend

    Saturday afternoon we went to my sister's house (located in the suburbs of Waddy, Kentucky)....for our annual T'Giving Feast.  We had it a weekend early because my nephew Daymond and family were in from Arkansas.
      Jane (his wife) is a professional photographer, and decided to take a family portrait as a Christmas present.  Since we have not had one done in 17 years....it sounded like a good idea.   I hate to think that it was because of me being in the pics....she took over 100 shots.
      Due to taking off next Thurs and Friday, we had to go out and work for about 4 hours this afternoon to get a jump start on our work schedule for the week.
      Then in late evening, I took the dogs and headed for the cabin.  The outhouse is now completed, and the floor is about 90% sanded.  Kim and Marisa have finally decided on a paint color for the interior (light green), so, I hope to get the paint this week, and take it down next weekend so Andy can paint when it's ready.  NOTE:  THE BOSS said that I was not to do the painting!
      Kooper, the bigger dog, went off into the woods and caught a possum.  He was pretty proud of that, however, I made him turn it loose. I don't think Mama would have cared for him dragging it home to play with!
      Here is a sample of some of the pics Jane took.

    Back to Reality

    Well, it was "back to normal" with work and life in general.  Got to run down to the farm on Saturday.  The cabin floor is finished except for sanding.  Biggest advance so far, is that the Outhouse is about 90% completed.

    Magic Convention Report

    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!

    Magic

    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.
