We normally don’t write about what we did over the week-end. \u00a0It’s too much like those “How I Spent My Summer” essays we all have written in school. \u00a0That being said, Jordan and I had what could be called the perfect week-end.\u00a0 We weren’t together, unfortunately, but we each spent quality time with our husbands doing what we love.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Kayak<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jordan and Mr. Spring \u00a0spent the week-end camping and kayaking in the Adirondacks with their dog Gracie.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Historic<\/p>\n

A fun part of my week-end was going on a remodeled homes tour with my good friend Lizanne.\u00a0 And the highlight for me was when I was recognized!!!\u00a0 I know…….It was so cool.\u00a0 Being recognized as a blogger by a loyal reader took my breath away.\u00a0 So, thank you, Jamie.\u00a0 You were my first.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Horse<\/p>\n

Mr. Right and I managed to put in almost 100 miles on our bicycles.\u00a0 We had the most perfect weather here in the Bluegrass for cycling.\u00a0 We also fit in the new Woody Allen movie, a street fair, some good eating, and maybe a little bit of wine.<\/h3>\n

\"Horse<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

One of the sad parts of the ride, though, was being reminded that it is weaning season on the horse farms.\u00a0 I wondered if these mamas were missing their young.\u00a0 At one farm I saw eight weanlings lined up along a fence.\u00a0 I’m sure they were missing their moms.\u00a0 The farmers try to put a bunch of the weanlings together so they can be a support system for each other.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"Horse<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I never tire of pedaling past scenes like this.\u00a0 We have three types of fences that are frequently seen around here.\u00a0 Although horse farms once used only white fences like the ones you see in the background, \u00a0they are very expensive to keep up and need a new paint job sooner than the other types.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"Black<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

That’s why we see mostly these black fences now.\u00a0 Once I was cycling past one of these fences that was in the process of being painted.\u00a0 The painter saw me and stopped, but there was a little breeze, and the paint he had just sprayed blew right onto me and my new bike.\u00a0 Luckily, I was able to wipe it off since I acted quickly, but my bike jacket was history.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Stone<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

We also rode past plenty of these beautiful and historic stone fences.\u00a0 They were first built by Scottish laborers in the 1800’s (maybe 1700’s).\u00a0 I just know they are really, really old and really, really beautiful.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Janette\"<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

And before I close for today, I need to rant a little bit.\u00a0 What is it with guys in pick-up trucks?\u00a0 In seems that every time someone has played a prank on us while we are cycling, it was a man or men in a big ole pick-up truck.\u00a0 Now, all of you guys out there who get your kicks out of picking on little ole me, I have a few questions for you:\u00a0 Have you ridden your bicycle across the country?\u00a0 Or through in the Sahara desert?\u00a0 How about in Asia?\u00a0 Or from the bottom of England to the top of Scotland when it rained 20 of the 21 days?\u00a0 How about from the top to the bottom of France on some of the same routes used for le Tour?\u00a0 Have you climbed the Inca Trail to Macchu Picchu????\u00a0 Have you??????\u00a0 I doubt it.\u00a0 So the next time you need to test your testosterone, you better find someone else because I. CAN. TAKE. YOU. DOWN!!!!!<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Jordan and I have been busy with projects.\u00a0 I’ve been painting and can’t wait to share, and Jordan has been busy moving furniture.\u00a0 Plus, we have some great tail-gating recipes to share so be sure to come back.<\/h3>\n
