October 2014-Brown County

Thank you Keith for two years of fast meetings so we could enjoy the rest of the campout!

Jean Rutter and Mary Brown.  I'll bet there was a quilt pattern in the book they are looking at.

Jean Brooks and Jean Cook reviewing another pattern.  

Pat brought most of her scraps and before the weekend was over there were lots of pieces ready to make scrap quilts.  

A rainy start to the week but Mary got the building for us to use.   Another benefit of weekday campouts.
The boys playing cards.  Phase 10.  I understand Mel brought the cards and Mel won the hand.  Hummmm!

Opps, looks like Keith is reaching into his pocket.  Was their wagering going on at this table????  Probably not but a good caption  

After dinner at the Four Seasons.  With all these jackets there are still lots of smiles.  Surely none in this group was joking around or anything!  

Passing the gavel.

Meeting in the Brown Co. Building.

Craft day kept many busy.  Stuffing lint in egg cartons was the first step in the fire starter craft.

Really, this is hard work.  Pour on the wax, and pack more lint in, and keep on going.

Wow!  still stuffing and poking.  Jean Cook is the master fire starter and teacher.

Debbie brought the stove!

Oh so many egg cartons.....

Jean Brooks and her flower leaves!  Centerpiece Ta Dah!

Resting that new knee!  Way to go!

Whew!  Time for a bit od conversation!

Yarn, glue, beads, corks, etc., etc.  Takes a lot of things to make scare crows.

In progress.  Look at the camera and "smile".

View along Brown County Park's interior road.  

August at Clifty Falls - 2014

Mary came and stayed on Friday night and Saturday night at the lodge.
Jean Ann was here Friday night and Saturday during the day and through the dinner at the lodge on Saturday.

Three canopies and the awning.  Comfy!

Ladies stopped at Historic Broadway Hotel & Tavern on Broadway in Madison after visiting Margie's Country Store.

Annex room where we ate.  The air conditioners were working a bit too much for us.

Super Moon through the tree cover with just the cell phone.

Men's side of the campfire ring.

Okay, I've baggd al I can at the moment.

Snacking healthy. 

Is that rain drops we feel after just putting our covers up for the day.

Downtown lunch crown on Saturday.

Becky's table topper.  Now someone just has to finish this topper.

Back to the Hotel for brunch on Sunday.

More eating area at the Downtown Hotel.

Rita and Bob-surprised by the cake and ice cream.

More Saturday lunch folks.

Looks like meeting time.

July at the Horse Park in Lexington.

Frank and Lucky
Lucky is visiting with the Wesley's this weekend. 

Dave-Joy-Jean

I am sure there are some horse tales being spun in this group!

Norm and Wendy Wesley
Guests of the Judds
Lucky is their puppy.

Golfer oh no, this is when we were headed to the Horse Park.  Campground folks transported us over and back on golf carts.  Museum was really good.  It was much larger and more interesting than some of us expected.

Dave giving us suggestions on what to see in the area.

View of our campsite road.

Display in the Horse Park.

Training and then some of the show at the International Ring at the Horse Park.

Lively discussions happened concerning part of the appetizer offerings!

What we do BEST!
Dinner in downtown Lexington.

Can't tell which one is enjoying this more!

Bailey's Point May 2014

Bailey's Point from section B.  We were in Section A!  I forgot to take pictures.  And I missed some beautiful sunsets.  Maybe Ron got some good ones we can add.

Those in attendance will know the rest of the story on the picture below.  

Sorry Butch I am not posting the videos. 

This was the new hammock.   Jean found them and ordered them for us (Jean and Pat).  But somehow the men just had to try it out.  It is NOT an easy entry or exit.  Butch had to assist Mr. Judd in the exit.  This filmmaker was so tickled watching she couldn't get out of her own chair to assist.

I am sorely lacking on pictures from this campout.  Several arrived early.  All were in by Sunday night.

There were campfires nearly each night. 

Hospitality was on Sunday night.

Monday night we went to the Barren River State Park Lodge for a buffet dinner.

Tuesday night we had a left-overs pitch-in. 

Jean and Pat made a trip to Smith's Grove for a fabric fix on Saturday before more folks arrived.  Whittle's has great fabric and super prices.  

Monday there was a trip to Bowling Green and a few toes were manicured.  

Monday a group golfed at Barren River State Park.  They played on Saturday too.

It rained like crazy but we did not get severe weather and most of the rain was at night!

What a way to start the camping season.

Colberts, Cooks, Smiths, Vucksons, McPhersons, and Judds.

Looking forward to Starve Hollow in June.

Happy Camping!

July 2014 Schedule changed

We have had to change the location of our July 2014 campout due to the lack of available sites at the My Old KY Home State Park...

New locations is:  KY Horse Park State Park.

                              There is a senior discount available this year on the KY site that I don't remember                        seeing when booking before.
