Halfway?! Week #4 Recap.

You know the sayin'...time flies when your havin fun! This week was week #4 and that means midterm. I should be completing my CPI at the moment but I enjoyed a bit of sun today at Cave Run Lake and Finding Nemo is on and I haven't updated this in a week, sooo the CPI can wait another day. And Shelby- if you ever end up reading this I didn't just BS it, it's almost done.

Lunch Break at the horse park on Friday...watching a horse competition! 

Thursday Night Live

Downtown Lexington holds a Thursday Night Live downtown with live music and beer, similiar to Alive at Five for the 518 (ironic though because I have never been to the one in Albany). PT Kids enjoyed the late afternoon drinks and then dinner at Ramsey's (homecooked southern food).

 The hometown KY kids filled us in on the correct use of "Bless your heart" and "noodling". Apparently there is no other phrase out there that can replace "bless your heart", can you think of one? 

Noodling apparently is a method of catching catfish by sticking your arm down a hole in the muck and pulling out a catfish that latches on to your arm. (GROSS and OW!). Click Me For a Video on Noodling

Cave Run Lake

My impressive photo skills...haha 

The lake is located within the scenic Eastern Highlands Region of Kentucky and is almost completely surrounded by the northern-most section of the Daniel Boone National Forest. An earth and rockfill dam built across the Licking River created Cave Run Lake. The dam is located near the small community of Farmers, Ky., 10 miles west of Morehead and 60 miles east of Lexington. It was primarily created to reduce flood damage in the Ohio River Basin. The lake is almost 48 miles long and covers 8,270 acres. -Info courtesy of the Army Corps of Engineers.

Mary and I had a splendid day! We found a spot near the water and the place was empty when we got there! It was awesome. Mary's Golden Retriever Madison came along too and swam her little heart out. Funny though that as the day went on, the shoreline started to fill up, but not near us... maybe it was Mary's Duke sticker on her car? We smelled funny? Who knows, we do have another theory but that is a story for another day.  I also had a chance to finally swim some laps to get ready for 2 upcoming triathlons later this summer. I <3 the water. KY is too land-locked for me.

Wishing I was knee deep in the water somewhere

Got the blue sky breeze and it don't seem fair

Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair

Sunrise there's a fire in the sky

Never been so happy 

Never felt so high

And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise

This is what a torrential downpour looks like, 25 feet later, no rain. Crazy! Good thing it was at 5PM!
