Friday, October 18, 2014 - Campbellsville, KY
After a couple days of rain, the sun finally came out today. It was a beautiful day and I had the windows and door open all day! :) We did take Gracie for a nice long walk this evening. We walked by a field of cows. A couple of the cows came up to the fence to check us out. At first Gracie was interested in checking them out also, until another cow cam galloping up. That was it, she wanted nothing doing with being by that fence. :)
Lots more people are moving into the campground. We found out that by the end of the month the campground will be full. We have meet a lot of our neighbors. It is always interesting to hear all of their different life stories. I am sure they think the same as us. :)
It was another wonderful day!

Underbelly
Tuesday, October 14, 2014 - Campbellsville, KY
Today was another off and on rainy day. We did actually see peeks of sun today. :)
It was raining when I took Gracie for her walk this morning. Across the street and down a little way we came upon a drain with a lot of water running into it. Gracie did not know what to think about it. This link is to a movie of her playing in the water at the drain. Gracie Playing at the Drain Then we walked toward the corn maze and I started hearing a noise that sounded like running water. When I realized the sound was coming from under the ground by me, I thought I might know where the next sink hole is going to be. :)
This afternoon we finally heard back from KZ and the company that made the underbelly cover is no longer in business and KZ can't get us one. :( So tomorrow we will need to start looking into RV salvage companies to see if we can find a used one. If not, then we are not real sure what we are going to do.... More to come on this.
This evening, before dark, I wanted to know if I could still hear the water running under the ground. When Mike and I got to the spot where the noise was, I could no longer hear it. Darn. Then we continued to walk down the road. As we rounded a curve I thought it looked very beautiful, so I had to take a picture.
We continued to walk down the road until we came to a small roadside picnic area with overlooks to the lake.
We knew we were only a short distance from the boat ramp and campground, so we continued to walk down the road. When we arrived at the boat ramp Gracie wanted to play in the water, so Mike started throwing sticks for her. Click on the link to see the video. :) Gracie Playing in Green River Lake.
It was getting late and we had a little more than 2.5 miles to walk back, so we headed back. It did rain a little bit on us, but it was not bad. As we were coming up the hill by the corn maze we saw the sun setting off in the distance. It was beautiful. The picture below does not do it justice. :) The sun was behind a tree and it was really cool!
Our total walking distance was a little over 5 miles. We had a nice time walking.

Aged Swiss
Monday, October 13, 2014 - Campbellsville, KY
This afternoon we headed for Wal-Mart in Campbellsville, they did not have Kraft Aged Swiss Cheese! So we drove the 14 miles down to Columbia to see if the Super Wal-Mart down there had Kraft Aged Swiss Cheese. Yes we are very particular about our Aged Swiss cheese. :) They had it!!!! So we bought 4 packages. That should hold us over for a couple of weeks. While we were there we also bought a couple packages of candy and a yard lease for Gracie. After all we had to make it worth our while. :)
On our way home, I have been noticing what I was calling barn quilts on many of the barns around here.
Well when I looked it up on my phone we found out that is what they are called, Barn Quilts. And there are quilt trails. That sounds like it might be a nice motorcycle ride. :) I will have to investigate this further to see what trails are in this area. This link is for the website I found Barn Quilts.
We had leftovers for dinner and did not do much else today.

Clean Roof
Sunday, October 12, 2014 - Campbellsville, KY
This morning we went to 10:00am Mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help again. We talked about going to a different mass, but it was raining last night and we did not want to get up early. :) After Mass we ran to the IGA grocery store to pick up some aged swiss cheese. They don't carry any. We are hoping Wal-Mart does, but we are going to wait for them to restock their shelves.
Then we headed home and fixed biscuit and sausage gravy. Something we have not had in a long time and it was good! :)
The weather turned out to be very nice today. A lot nicer than we thought it would be. Since it was nice out we decided it would be a good day to clean the trailer. After I finished cleaning the inside I headed up to the roof to help Mike clean the roof. Not a very exciting day, but we got a few things done that needed to be done. :)
Since we picked up the onions and red beans this morning we had Skyline Chili 5 way! It tasted just like what you buy in the restaurant! It was very good!
This evening we took Gracie for a walk at about 9:00pm. We walked down to the road that goes back to the State Park. When Mike asked how far I was planning on going, I told him I would have already turned around. So I said when do you want to turn around? And he said at the utility pole. When we got to the utility pole, I once again asked when do you want to turn around? He said are you ok with going up to the sign..."Sure", well it was at about that same moment something screeched! "It is time to turn around!!!!" I had goose bumps all over my body. Don't know what it was, but it sure did startle me! Gracie just wanted to check it out. "Oh no, we are headed back home!" :)

Check on the Boat
Saturday, October 11, 2014 - Campbellsville, KY
It is another rainy cool day. We slept in this morning and it felt good. Gracie was ready for a walk when we finally got out of bed. :) Since it was a rainy day we thought it would be a good day to run down to Jamestown, KY. We had 2 coolers that we were planning on leaving with the boat this summer, but we ended up taking them to Virgina with us. :) So we headed down to Jamestown to put the coolers in the boat storage shed. While we there we went ahead and move the life jackets and butt cushions to our storage totes. We put all of the seat cushions back in place. Now the boat is ready to be picked up to be winterized.
On the way back we went to the grocery store. While at the store we found a can of Skyline Chili, so we thought we would purchase it and try it out. I will let you know how it is.
The plan for dinner tonight was going to be Braunschweiger and aged swiss cheese on crackers. Well Kroger's does not carry any aged swiss cheese. Mike ran to Wal-Mart to see if they had any, but he said most of the shelves were empty, so we will have to wait for the shelves to restocked. Then we thought we would go ahead and have Skyline Chili 5 way, but we forgot to buy onions. So we had just regular chili. :) Tomorrow we will stop by IGA grocery store and pick up aged swiss cheese, onions and red beans.

Distillery & Winery
Friday, October 10, 2014 - Campbellsville, KY
It was another rainy day, but today it rained all day.
Mike worked another 5 hour day. He said his stow rate was 76% yesterday. During their training period they want you to get to 75%, he made it at least 1 day. :) But he said he got a couple of "pretty carts" yesterday. Meaning they have a lot of the same items on it. An "ugly cart" has a lot of single items, which means you have more chances of an error.
Today he was moving his cart along and hit an emergency stop button on a conveyor. He was going to just reset it, since that is what he would have done before, but the sign said only maintenance could do that. So he had to call maintenance to let them know what he had done. :)
He does not feel his rate was as good today. :) But his first week is over now. :)
Mike needed to re-fill his prescription and the nearest Walgreens is in Lebanon, KY, which is about 20 miles away. Since we were going to head for Lebanon, Mike checked out what else there was to do there. Well he found out Lebanon is part of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. So we thought we would check it out.
When we got to Lebanon we first found the Walgreens, but Mike's prescription was not going to be ready until 4:00pm. Then we found the Limestone Branch Distillery.
As soon as we arrived they had just started a tour, so we just caught up with them. Not that it was hard to do, they were just in the back of the building. Our tour guide was explaining how they make Moonshine, which is their MoonPie Moonshine. Then we turned around and he explained how they make their bourbon. It was a very interesting tour.
After the tour we went back to the front of the building and did a little tasting. First we tried the Cherry, Strawberry, Apple Cinnamon Pie and Pumpkin Pie Sugar Shine. Then I tried the Chocolate MoonPie Moonshine and Mike tried the Precinct No. 6 Sour Mash. I did not think I would like any of them, but they were pretty good and we ended up buying a small bottle of the Cherry Sugar Shine. I could see us going back there to purchase a jar of the Vanilla MoonPie Moonshine. :) They were telling us that it is good in tea or coffee...sounded good to me. I also purchased a Salted Carmel Moon Pie and Mike got a Ice Cream Moon Pie. :)
Next we drove about 5 miles down the road to White Moon Winery.
The owner Alex Payne is very nice and gave us the story behind each wine we were tasting. The wine tasting also included some cheese from Kenny Farmhouse Cheese, which is a farm that is about an hour from here. They also have tours of their cheese-making facility and a tasting room. We may need to make a trip down there. :)
After our wine tasting we headed to the back of the building, where Alex explained how she made her wines. The tour was very interesting. We ended up purchasing several bottles of wine.
We finally headed to Walgreens to pick up Mike's prescription. We were also very hungry, so we decided we would drive back to Campbellsville and eat at Garcia's Mexican Restaurant. The food and service were good. It is a place I am sure we will go to again during the time we will be here. :)

Another Day in Campbellsville
Thursday, October 10, 2014 - Campbellsville, KY
This morning it was very rainy, but the afternoon turned out to be a very nice day.
Mike was hoping to find out how many errors he made yesterday at work, but they just said "we still have some training to do." I guess that means there were a lot of errors. :)
This evening when we took Gracie for a walk there were several other campers out and about. As we would stop and talk with them, I realized I am about the only camper in the campground that does not work at Amazon. :)
It was another wonderful day!
