Friday morning was cut-our-hill-in-Sadieville time. Claude was so happy to have Katelyn there to help. He got the edges done for her and Katelyn climbed back on that tractor and away she went.
Her cutting was not without incident though.
At the bottom of our hill is a huge flat area along the creek. Claude cuts the edges of the grass so that Katelyn won't drive the tractor into the creek. It gets very soft on the creek edge of the grass. So Claude had already made at least one pass around all that flat area. Then Katelyn made a pass around the inside of that rectangle a couple of time. On the next pass she got to the far end and bumped something with the tractor. She immediately put the tractor in reverse and back up only to find Bambi laying in the grass. She almost ran over Bambi!!! Oh My!!! Bambi jumped up when Katelyn backed that tractor up and bounded up the hill into the woods. The little fawn was okay. We were amazed it didn't move with Claude first mowing around it and then Katelyn, but it just nestled itself further into the grass and stayed where its Mama put it.
Friday evening was Sadieville's first MusicFest of the summer. Merle Tussey had karaoke going by 5pm and the hot dogs and burgers were being served by 5:30pm. Now the time for this event is supposed to be 6pm - 9pm. Music was finally done at 10pm. This is just a great time for the community to visit and enjoy an evening together. Last summer Katelyn enjoyed helping us provide these events for our community. The proceeds go to refurbishing our Rosenwald School.
Merle played one song that is a new popular line dance and as soon as Katelyn heard the first few notes she was across the street and up to the pavilion to participate. What a kick. She even sang a song by herself and later talked Claude and me into singing one with her.
Katelyn was truly happy to see all the Sadievillians she came to know and loved last summer. Vernon Morris even came down to visit with her. She loves to tease him and vice versa.
After we finished our cleaning up, Claude had her drive the Jeep to pick up the directional signs we put up each month.
Today we picked up Papa and headed to Bardstown. Papa turned 83 years old on May 3rd. Our gift to him was a train ride on "My Old Kentucky Railroad". It is a lunch ride. Papa and Katelyn allowed me to get this picture of them before we went inside to wait for the lunch train trip.
Claude noticed something interesting. He pointed it out to me and I strolled over to get a picture. Can you tell why you wouldn't want to stay at this motel???
We road through the beautiful countryside, dined on salads followed by hot browns and then desserts. Our server had everyone sing 'Happy Birthday' to Papa. Then we hustled back to Georgetown in time for Papa to go feed Mimi dinner. It was a lovely trip and good to get Papa out of his apartment for a bit.
Tonight Claude and Katelyn are enjoying the '25th Anniversary of Les Miserable' and it sounds like now a 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie.
It's fun to have Katelyn with us for a bit. She doesn't get to stay the entire summer but we are so grateful whenever we get to have any and/or all of our grandmonsters visit. Just LOVE being a Gramma!!
