Kentucky Journal
February 10th


I'm due to head down to Moultrie, Georgia on Thursday and after that am heading up to Canada for a couple of months and so this is my last week in Kentucky for a wee while.


More snow this week


Laura playing Balder's Gate with Deb looking on and a special pose from Lou Lou


Fats in his usual sleep mode and a box of sweets arrived from Scotland


One of the cats favourite toys


and Dip is trying to get into my box of sweets!


But the attraction of their toy is too much!


And Deb is showing off her early Valentine's gift from Steve :-)

Cats playing with their favourite toy
This is wee movie of the cats playing

Danielle came up for a visit and Steve got caught!  I did say... hold it.. hold it... camera is almost ready... just one more second... got it! <grin>


Danielle with her new jacket she got for her birthday. She's 21 today! :-)

We had some fun this week talking about snoring.  Steve was saying that Deb snored and Deb retaliated with "Women don't snore... they just breath heavily!" :-)

Anyway... I've had a really great time in Kentucky.  I've had lots of laughs, done a lot of business, opened up my new company and generally had a ball.  I'm now off to Moultrie in Georgia for the next week where I'll be enjoying the Scottish Weekend and then hanging our with Beth Gay and her husband Mel and their good friend Woody. I'll take lots more pictures while I'm there so you can see another part of the USA.

The following week I'll be heading for Canada and Prince Edward Island where I'll be staying with long time friend Christopher Ogg and hopefully seeing and visiting with lots of folk up there. Which means of course I'll have to start a Canadian journal :-)

I will of course be back in Kentucky once my visa is sorted out and I'll be setting up home hopefully just up the hollow so I will continue my account when I return in around 2 months time.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Steve and Deb and all their family and extended family as well as the cats for making my visit so enjoyable. 

PS - Danielle came up just before I left and asked if some of her pictures could go into the journal so here they are :-)


Me on the left and Danielle with her cat Julio on the right


And Danielle's two other cats Diamond and Kiwi

And from the party night we got these...
