Visiting KY


Gram reading Ki-Pat to SPL

The last week in July, SPL, Aunt Beth, and I went to KY to visit my grandparents (SPL's great-grandparents) (mom flew out from TX too :-). They had moved from their house of 40+ years to a new apartment in a retirement community. It was wonderful to see their new place. My aunt Barbara, Uncle Jim, and Aunt Gingy had taken special care to make sure my grandmother's paintings were displayed in the new apartment (see flowers in photo) and had bought some new dining room chairs that were red leather โ€” perfect for my "red and purple" Gram ๐Ÿ™‚

SPL was a super-star and happily played on the floor with Grandpa (thanks for the toys Barbara!), tossed a squishy ball with Gram, and watched with amusement as Gizmo (my aunt Gingy's dog) did tricks like sneezeon command (his command no less :-).

SPL also made new friends in my cousin Daniel and his fiance Erica (didn't get a picture of her sadly).

We also made it out to the Kentucky Horse Park where SPL rode on his first pony. Their were many beautiful horses to look at and we had fun wondering around.
