Life lately...

Recently, we took Lucy to her first political rally.  Maybe objectionable to some, indoctrinating our child so young! Lets just look at it as giving her a piece of history to store in her memory bank....

The "4 More Days" chant that was heard so resolutely throughout the entire night by the some 30,000 in attendance, still pops up  from time to time coming out of Lucy's mouth.  (yes, I know, indoctrination).

I have to lovingly correct her, saying "Lucy, actually, it is now '4 more years'."

I won't go off on any soapbox, so as not to offend.  But one observation: it is amazing how different things can be in just a week and a half's time.   I say this is a testimony to the resiliency of the human spirit. The silver lining in it all:  at least we got to see us some Kid Rock.

On a more hopeful note, we got to spend time with friends recently.  Our annual trip to Lexington to see the Wildcats play football and spend time with college friends did not disappoint (despite the fact that UK is terrible and lost big).  Come on,  I don't go for the football--just the friends! 

don't ask about the red wig....

but I can tell you, the Wildcat didn't like it!

Lucy had a great time with Lily Kate and Ella, and the karaoke at the end of the night was a hoot! 

Happy (early) Thanksgiving to all!
