May 18-19, 2018 Allensville, Kentucky


We moved to Allensville, Ky and are parked at Teri's sister's house in the country. Kentucky red soil with green new plants. Welcome to Kentucky and this big skink greeted me behind the shed. 

The bus parked between the barn and the well. With a beautiful view.

The old tobacco barn near the bus.  The Montgomery county courthouse in Clarksville, TN was built 1878-79 after being destroyed in a fire in 1943. In 1900 it was once again damaged by fire but rebuilt. In 1999 a F3 tornado struck severely damaging the courthouse. The interior was redesigned and the exterior restored. 

Another historic building in downtown Clarksville, looks like a museum now.  Teri took us to dinner at the Blackhorse pub and brewery in Clarksdale tonight. John with is IPA.

Teri, Kristie, John and Suep at dinner at the Black horse. The basket is almost done and Teri is purchasing it having seen it made from start to finish.

Our beautiful campsite at Kristie and Ricky's farm. We lost power night before last and this is why. The rain got into the connection of extension cord  to the well house and melted the plugs. Thankfully is was on wet ground so it did not burn up much. John went into town and got a new cord and it is now waterproofed. 

The masterpiece is now done. Looks a lot like the last picture but it has beads around the center covering up the holes and the beeswax from the cords is melted onto the basket. I didn't get to admire it much, Teri now owns it. It is 10 x 11 x 3 inches, has a center with a kokopelli and some blue magnetite, red coral, and amethyst chips set in resin, more chip beads around the center, red glass beads, large turquoise magnetite beads. The last row is dyed pine needles. Kristie the proud owner  the abalone shell basket and Teri made the smaller colorful basket. I taught her how and she is going to start basket making. Great first basket, much better than my first one. 

Kristie is holding Scarlett Teri's dog  and with Lexi Kristie's dog nearby. Scarlett and Lexi.

Last night Teri took us out to dinner for her birthday at Dos Margaritas. Where we met some more of Teri's family and friends. Many med techs also. Teri and I met working as med techs in the lab in Frisco, Colorado. We haven't seen each other in 20 years, but as with all good friends it seemed like just yesterday. A photo of Teri the birthday girl wearing a gift scarf and jewelry. They even carded her before serving her drinks!
