Amazing Kentucky

We arrived at the Louisville South KOA and got the RV all settled and made our plans for touring Noah's Ark the following day. 

I almost missed the state sign.

Our site for two weeks.

Sunday, we watched church, got ready to go on our adventure and drove two hours to see the ark. It took Noah and his family 120 years to build the ark. That is also how long God gave his people to repent. "The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love." Psalm 103:8 (ESV). Only Noah and his family survived, and God placed His rainbow in the sky as a pledge to never flood the Earth again. Fun fact: Noah is 600 years old and much has happened while building the ark. His father, Lamech, passed away five years ago, and his grandfather, Methuselah, died in the past year at the age of 969.

We were pretty far away, had to be to get it all in the picture.

Closer look at the back of the ark.

That's a little longer than a standard Boeing 747-400 jet airliner.

Noah's prayer to the Lord for safety during the storm.

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and open the door,
 I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me." Revelation 3:20 (ESV)

Kentucky is very beautiful, and we are enjoying our stay. We have had some rainy days, and I know that God is in control, but I am not a fan. Before the rains came, we were able to go out on a hike and explore more of the KOA. I intended to ask how many acres this KOA is on but haven't been able to do that yet. Hope to have that answer for you on the next blog.

Beautiful sunset.

New state, new information. Hope you are enjoying the blog as you travel vicariously along with us.

Later today, we tour Churchill Downs, our next blog will tell the tale of the famous Kentucky Derby. Don't miss out!!

Buffalograss Who Knew?

What a week it has been, hot is the word for it. Actually, the tee-ball game last Thursday was moved from 6:30pm to 7:30pm and I was so glad about that. It cooled down to 96 degrees and that made it so much better. The weather also gives us beautiful skies.  These dark and mysterious clouds did not produce rain for us. I just love the way they look. Another picture of the moon. Monday was laundry day and that felt good to knock it out in one day. Funny, my washer/dryer takes 2 and a half hours for one little load, going into the house, I can knock laundry in a lot less time than that. Don't get me wrong, I love my washer/dryer. It was over three years ago we got this, so love being able to  wash in the RV verses a laundry mat. "Keeping it real" Tuesday was a gut-wrenching day, I woke up to find out one of my best friend's daughter has passed away. She found out she had cancer in 2020 and battled through that and even got to ring the bell, not only to find out later th

A Labor of Love

Working on the ranch is truly a blessing. I enjoy mowing and now that we have a new weed sprayer, I enjoy riding around on the Polaris spraying the paths to the feeders and deer stands. This was just water, needed to do that first to make sure all the sprayers worked. Tuesday, we went to Kirsten's house so hubby could see her deck and new chicken coop. She lives at a higher elevation than we do. I was able to take this picture of the sunsetting. So beautiful. Isn't God so creative! We have Mesquite trees around here, fun fact: they are not native to this area. They are a nuisance, and they have thorns. What they have that is good is pods and the deer like to eat them. I am trying to get the grass to grow more, I have a few mesquites that will be take out. I don't like the "messy" look, so trying to get this area looking better, of course with hubby's help. Can you see the pods? So, we have blink cameras and a game camera out and about the house, RV and by the

The Past Two Weeks

I'm back, so sorry about missing a post last week, this week I made sure to get one ready for you. This is officially my 181-blog post and I appreciate you joining in for the journey. We have been busy here in Iraan. We go into town almost every day just to dump trash, we also have driven to Fort Stockton, Ozona and Big Lake. Let me first put up some pictures from January 14th through the 20th. It was full of family, and it was frozen. Here is the family for our January Christmas. In the back are Stef, Robert, Connie and hubby.  In the front are my dad and Baine. Can you see Baine? Little icicles hanging off the cover. There is an icicle on the truck tire. Frozen winter wonderland. It was chilly out there, that is for sure, but we enjoyed being together and celebrating with each other. What a difference a week makes. It has thawed out and we are reaching nearly 70 degrees. As I am writing this it is currently 64 and should hit 67. Some days it seems as though I have to wear two dif
