An Award With a Very Long Name...

Thursday, May 23rd, we found ourselves in an entirely new surrounding, a place we had never entered before. We were at the Governor's Mansion for the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

We parked in the Governor's Mansion parking lot and waited a bit because we arrived a few minutes early.

As we walked from the parking lot to the Governor's Mansion these are a couple of view of the Kentucky State Capitol.

I was also able to get a picture of Claude in front of the Governor's Mansion. I told him after I took this picture and just before we entered the Masion that we should look at it to see where we would place our furniture. We had a good laugh at that idea.

The purpose of our visit was to receive the Ida Lee Willis Award for the Sadieville Rosenwald School restoration.  Claude Christensen, as Mayor of Sadieville, and Cindy Foster, our city clerk and organizer of the Friends of Sadieville, were the ones to receive the award.

After receiving the award, Mayor Christensen gave a brief, purposeful speech with a touch of humor. It was perfect. I was very proud of my hubby.

We had to hurry right after so I could get back to take Tiny to the kennel before our trip. It was a great honor to receive this award and it was also a lot of fun entering this special home for Kentucky's governors.
