Busy, busy, busy in Kentucky

We've been here 72 hours and literally haven't had a moment to post. We've been focused on the three McQueen kids, a visit to Hopkinsville by Bea Sunderland and Chris White, and Chris McQueen's desire to demolish a failing retaining wall next to his driveway (this involved jackhammers, a tractor, and a hydraulic dump trailer). So, this is the first free moment we've had.

Here's an interesting story: We had to return the dump trailer to Clarksville this morning, some 35 miles south of here. Somehow, the youth pastor at Chris' church heard we were headed to Clarksville so he called Chris and asked if we could deliver the deer that he had shot last night to the deer processing facility there.

Chris, Demi and I went by this gents work place. Chris called him on the cell phone but he reported that he was in a meeting and his boss wouldn't let him leave. So, the three of us located his pickup truck where we found a deceased deer with it's tongue hanging out and a bag of ice shoved into it's intestinal cavity. Chris and I loaded it into the trailer and hauled to to the designated spot. Not the way I anticipated spending the morning.

At least we're going to get a little venison sausage out of the deal. And I've got a youth pastor who I've never met who will be indebted to me for life.

Things are good here. The weather is beautiful. Chris and Kai arranged for us to park the trailer at their friends Rocky and Brenda's acreage about 20 minute north of town.

We're having a great time with the kids (but we're tired) and will post some pictures of the little munchkins soon
