New: Get more OFFICIAL Outdoor Program back in Girl Scouting. Our website and Facebook page.

Edwin and Linda got married! I took some photos too.

I went to this wedding on Sunday, November 18, 2013, and I'm glad I did. 

They had it at Chaney's Dairy Barn, a famous venue for ice cream and dairy tours.

They also had a veil over a cow statue there. And what a nice band they had. I could not hear all of the wedding, but I did hear some of the beautiful vows and the fun music and got to take a few pictures too.

I think they had a LOT more people than they thought they would. Just saying. It was standing room only. I tried to give up my seat, but somebody else gave the person a seat in the FRONT, which was the area for VIP's.

Here are some of the photos (I'll post the rest on Facebook and post a link after that here.)

Our view of the wedding. Note the pillar and people. (haha)

Edwin offers Linda some of Chaney's famous Ice Cream.

Linda and Romanza talk.

Here is that cow I told you about...

And here is Edwin and Linda's Engagement Announcement in the Daily News. 

We got a FREE cup of delicious ice cream at the wedding. What a great idea.

Congratulations, and many happy returns, Linda and Edwin.

Well that's it for now. Off I go to post on Facebook, then post a link here.

Do you get little people at your house at Halloween?

Halloween Cuties. Via D'Arcy Norman on Wikimedia Commons.

We usually don't. Our house is on a busy street, and there aren't many kids around either.

But we are prepared just in case, with some goodies.

True, we have "Trunk" events in the area, and also Halloween events where kids can go elsewhere and get candy, but to me Halloween isn't Halloween without having that kind of scary element of going door to door.

I used to go with my daughter... and when I was a kid we got those good popcorn balls and homemade fudge sometimes. Good stuff.

This is an interesting time of year. Weather reports show a "scary" weather front coming in for Halloween. We'll see.

Have a SCARY but good time on Halloween, everyone.

Delafield Church and Hotel Inc. - a trip to Boatlanding Road

I finally got to see Hotel Inc. and its location the other day.

Here are some photos of the church in front of Hotel Inc., which is located at 1005 Boatlanding Road, and the side of Hotel Inc.

This church is directly in front of Hotel, Inc., which is around to the left and back as seen on this photo.

Here is what you will see as you walk towards their back entrance.

Hotel Inc. is a local Christian church group that helps people with a food pantry (Manna Mart) and other services. Right now, they need food because there is a lot of need for that in the community.

I saw some breadstuffs inside the door when we went. They still need canned goods and more kinds of food. Here are some items they have needed in the past: (from a BG Daily News article"carrots, peas, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes and fruit, as well as stuffing mix and baking mix." They could also use canned goods of all kinds.

An April 2013 posting on their Facebook page said:

"Manna Mart has some empty shelves...cereal, juice, soup, fruit, whole wheat pasta, brown rice, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes. We can also accept fresh fruit, vegetables, dairy and meat. Donations can be dropped off at 1005 Boatlanding Road. Office hours: Tuesday 9-5, Wednesday - Friday 9-5. Thanks!"

 Call the number below to find out what they need most.

The hours you can bring food and other items to them are (from the site):
"Checking in donated food or distributing food to clients (Tuesday 10:00 – 1:00, 4:00 – 5:00, Thursday 10:00 – 1:00 and Friday 10:00 – 1:00)"

Just call 782-1263 with any questions, and to help as a volunteer.

Here is their website:
Hotel Inc.

and here is their Facebook page too:
Hotel Inc. Facebook Page.

You can see more photos here from my visit on my Facebook photos area.

Beautiful lamps at Chuy's in Bowling Green, Kentucky

Rickey and I went to Chuy's Restaurant the other day.

I had a diet plate that was delicious.

Rickey had a stuffed avocado (he said it was great). I had a bite.

Chuy's is celebrating their One Year Anniversary.

What impressed me too (again) were their neat lamps.

When you look closely at them, they look to be made of paper and glass. The colors are bright and cheery.

I took some photos of these neat multicolor lovelies.

I took a few more and put them on my Facebook page, along with a copy of these.

Here is Chuy's Facebook page:

PS Be careful of the Green Chili sauce. It's great, but hot.

Concave 2013 is Concave 34 in Bowling Green, Kentucky

 Wow - 34 Concaves already!

This is my first Concave posting for this year on my blogs.

I brought my swimsuit this year, so I got to go swimming and get in the hot tub today. It felt great. You can see the hot tub area right past the fence in this picture:

I have a few photos and more on Facebook and my From the Garden Spot blog too.

I saw lots of gamers there, some neat costumes and had some great food last night too. I've got a few pieces of art in the Art Show this time, so that is fun too.

The Art Auction is later tonight, and I always enjoy that.

This year, there are more Hucksters than ever. They each have rooms around the pool in the Atrium area. Books, jewelry, games, collectibles, art, and more is available. I look forward to looking at more things today.

Off to post on my other blog.

(Above) This semi-quiet area did not stay quiet a lot last night. I brought our noise machine and some earplugs though, just in case.

Here is a posting on my From the Garden Spot blog:

Concave #34: It's all about the parties...

The Old Rockfield School becomes a Dollar General

I can't believe how fast the new Dollar General is going up on Russellville Road! 

It seemed like just last week they were taking down the Old Rockfield School.

That school was also the home for an Antique Gallery once.

Here are some photos, from oldest to newest.

The Old Rockfield School side entrance.

The old Antique shop sign and For Sale sign.

The front of the school.

Back view of the side, and detached back of the school.

Making new memories for Christmas, and the Hobbit Movie was great!

This year we had such fun.

We unwrapped presents, then had some Chinese food, then saw the movie The Hobbit.

Photo by Zepfanman on Flickr.

I loved it!

And can't wait until the next movie in the trilogy. Some people said online they didn't like the special effects, but I thought they were really great.

It's been a busy, busy week, and will be busier until next week. But I liked today, and will put it among my cherished memories.

How was your holiday week? Good, I hope.

The Eloise B. Houchens Center Trees of Christmas Exhibit

The theme for this year's Trees of Christmas was Trees Around the World.

There were so many different trees - upstairs and downstairs. The Houchens Center also has a gift area, and you can donate to the group of your choice below each tree.

The exhibit is totally free! So if you have not seen this yet, put it on your list. It is open 10-2 Monday through Friday, Saturday 10-4 and Sunday 1-4 through the 22nd.

There are so many more trees to see. I had a wonderful time.

More photos are here on my FB photo page too.

What a great exhibit. And there were so many OTHER groups represented there besides the Eloise B Houchens Center. I saw a tree representing the Moose Lodge and also one for the Girl Scouts.

I found out about more groups I didn't even know about, which was also fun.

Later!

Richpond Market has great food! Plus I posted a cute Anime girl photo.

Richpond Market and Deli has GREAT tenderloin biscuits. Just saying. They also have steak biscuits.

In fact, they are famous for them!

I also liked this hand-painted sign.

Are you ready for the holidays? Have your Christmas tree up? I am curious.

I don't have our tree up... and the presents are not all wrapped yet. BUT I have gotten a lot done anyhow.

Here is hoping you have a great Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule, Winter Soltice, etc. etc. Gather your loved ones around you and let them know you love them.

If you are not back here before then, have a Merry Christmas -  - Joyous Solstice - Happy Hanukkah - and Merry Yuletide!

I love this photo. It reminds me of the many anime books I have been reading lately.

Isn't she cute?

A Fun Breakfast at Taco Del Mar

Rickey and I have been talking about visiting this new Mexican place, Taco Del Mar. 

We almost didn't go in today, mostly because it wasn't in its own building, but instead attached to a Shell station. But it was cute outside. It had a surfboard table too.

I took some pictures (below).

We each had a Breakfast Burrito, which turned out pretty big, because we could have all kinds of good stuff in it (custom made) and I picked guacamole, lettuce, salsa, and more (but as usual NOT hot peppers...) They had chorizo, and I liked it too.

I also had a Breakfast Taco, but took it home for lunch, along with half of the Breakfast Burrito.  We said we'd try to go back, maybe for breakfast, and maybe for lunch. Without the coffee, our bill was only $7.80. Not bad!

We liked the decorations and photos around the restaurant AND the price. I went next door to get a hot coffee and there was sugar-free vanilla coffee too so I made a combo.

Rickey looked Taco Del Mar up online, and found out it was a chain. It was one I had never been to before. I think they will get more visitors when there is a Corvette Museum event. I hope they get to stay. It's a cute place.

I liked it, and so did Rickey.  I think I'll put the pictures up on Facebook too.

Ale 8 - next door

Friends and Family - also 1961?

1961 - notice the rudders on these big size surfboards.

Check out the BIG surfboards around.

Love the hut topper.

Tiki Table!

I like the tree too.

Voting at Rockfield Precinct - 8:00 a.m. - a long line of about 20 minutes.

I actually remembered my camera today AND remembered to take some photos.

There was a big line at the Rockfield Precinct voting area Rickey and I go to today. We would have been earlier, but did get there before some people.

The first clue we had that it was jammed was the FULL parking lot. Luckily, somebody was leaving when we got there, so we didn't have to park that far away.

I think someday all we will have to do to vote is click on our computer from home. But I may not be alive for that!

Here are some photos:

Are you excited about today's election? Rickey says we may have to wait until tomorrow to find out who won... I said "unless there is a landslide!" But who knows. Certainly I am not an expert!

But I will be watching with interest.

Betsyanne
I voted! 

If you don't know whether to vote or not, do! Your vote does make a difference. 

Also: The Lions Club is at the Presbyterian church downtown from 10:30 until 3:00 and then 3:30-6. They make good beans and cornbread. It is $4.00.

Later.
