We finally made it to Louisville. When we arrived Bill and Kent had delicious snacks and soup waiting for us. Oh, and a little wine. Bill had baked the usual hummingbird cake for the sisters' birthdays. We had to get up early and be out of the house by 10:30 the next day so Kent made sure we behaved and he had us all tucked into bed by 11:15. We got up Saturday and ate breakfast and were actually ahead of schedule. They had made reservations for a guided walking tour of Old Louisville. The tour guide was very knowledgable and had even written books about Old Louisville and a cookbook. We didn't buy any. Anyway, we went for a 2 hour tour. The historic area of Louisville is huge and in 2 hours we only saw a small portion of it. We learned that Louisville is #3 in the country (behind Boston and D.C.) for the largest area of historic preservation. The tour was very interesting and included quite a few ghost stories. We were able to go inside the house in the last picture. It is owned by a couple who are former actors from New York. Their decor was very "interesting." After the tour we went to lunch then went into a few shops and headed back to Bill & Kent's. Bill made us a delicious paella for dinner. Since Bobbie doesn't like seafood he made her a separate portion using hotdogs cut into the shape of little shrimps. He's so clever and always aims to please. We left by 11:00 AM Sunday and took the direct route home. We didn't fool around this time because people had to be to work Monday INCLUDING ROBERT. He just started a new job selling machinery for a company based in Charlotte. OH- I must ad a disclaimer to my previous blog entry. That pumpkin butt is NOT my sister in Hot Springs. It's across the road from our house. I don't know how that got in there.
