This is my friend Amy. We caught up over a cup of coffee. Seeing Amy and Brad really has me wondering why I look and feel old. Neither of them have changed a bit.
Here is Kota. My parents took one of the nine puppies our dachshund Cherish had last year. She was Hayes' favorite, so I am glad to still have her in the family.
Before leaving I was able to see my nephew Cohen one more time. He is almost 3-1/2. I have an easy time keeping track of his age since we share the same birthday. He is growing like a weed but I still think Chooj has him beat on weight and height, even being six months younger.
On the way back to Kentucky, I had to take a route through Cherokee, NC, due to the rockslide blocking I-40. Here are some pictures of the beautiful skyline. I even came across a herd of elk and a full-size black bear. I wondered if this was the mother bear to the cub that Shannon and the kids saw on there way back from Cherokee a couple weeks before.
