Holy moly, I have a blog!

Hey folks! I suppose this was going to happen eventually, so here we go! I hope to keep you all entertained and informed as to the events currently happening in the life of the Olsen family, or at least the two human and three canine Olsens currently living in our house. No promises as to the quantity or quality of posting, as there is a very good chance this whole venture could be abandoned tomorrow - it's entirely possible. Enjoy!

House Pictures...Finally!

Howdy, everyone!  It's hard to believe, but we're fast approaching the four month anniversary of signing our closing papers on the house in Richmond, Kentucky, and we're  finally  ready to share interior house pictures with all of you lovely blog readers!   But first, an exterior one! As is pretty normal, it took awhile to get everything settled; although we were unpacked and living comfortably in the house within a month or so, finishing up the interior decorating took substantially longer.  One of the main reasons for this is the bright, sunshiny yellow door you see in the picture above.  When we bought the house, this was the front door: While the black color was fine (if uninspired), it was the massive amount of glass in the door that drove us to find a better solution.  The road in front of the house is moderately busy, and we often have deliveries being dropped on our porch; every time someone drove by, which the dogs could easily see, they ...

Our First Kentucky Visitor - Part 2

In Part 1 of this blog series, my Mom, Gwen, became our first overnight visitor to the new house!  She and I met for lunch in Knoxville, then Chris and I took her all over greater Madison County to show off our new area. The three of us enjoying Father's Day brunch at Honeywood When we were planning Mom's visit, she mentioned she didn't have anything in particular she wanted to do, other than just hang out with us and see our new house and town.  However, when we asked how about a distillery tour, she quickly answered, well heck yeah!  With that confirmation secured, I booked a tour for the three of us at Castle and Key , a spot on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail , at 1:30pm on Father's Day.  Since we'd be going all the way to Frankfort, we figured we might as well make a day of it, so we also grabbed brunch reservations at Honeywood, a local spot on the southwestern side of Lexington. Honeywood is one of Chef Ouita Michel's restaurants, and although this is the onl...

Our First Kentucky Camping Trip - Part 1

So many firsts in our new place!  We've taken our first road trip  and had our first   visitor , and it was only a matter of time before we hitched up Zelda the travel trailer and took her camping on this side of the country! Smiling underneath the namesake of Natural Bridge State Resort Park As I mentioned in the initial blog post about Mom's visit, I ended up with extra vacation days when I didn't use as many as expected for the move (mine expire on August 31st, the end of our fiscal year); to avoid losing them, Chris and I both took off the entire week of the 4th of July (nine whole days away from work was amazing - it was hard to go back, that's for sure).  We made reservations from Monday through Wednesday to camp at Natural Bridge State Resort Park, figuring it would be less crowded earlier in the week, and we could be back at home with the fuzzies by the time the fireworks started going off in earnest.  The Park has two different campgrounds within it, a...
