Down in K-Tuck

Life is good. :-) Got down to KY safely last night (and all the snow is MELTED!! WOOHOO!!!), got caught up with the grandparents a bit, took a much needed shower, and went to bed. Woke up this morning to the smell of homemade biscuits and gravy (grandmother knows me WAY too well, haha), sat around the table talking for a bit, and then headed outside to help grandfather with some house work in the beautiful 60 degree sunny weather.

Grandfather's now working on adding an extension to the gazeebo over the pond, so I volunteered to help him load and unload a couple truckloads of rock from the neighbor. And let's just say that maybe it was God's plan that I actually start working out regularly at CU over the last month, because we quit working at 6 and it's 10 now, and my legs STILL feel like jell-o... lol. We only worked for about 5 hours, but some of those rocks are close to 150 pounds, and they're all laying flat on the ground, so you have to squat down and use your legs to get them on the truck -- basically it was like doing squats......for 5 hours straight. haha. But it was good to get dirty again (the ground, and rocks, were still really muddy from the snow melting), and it always makes you proud at the end of the day to know you worked your butt off.

....Unless we're talking about homework........ ;-D

Anyway, then my cousins came over (haha, I had to laugh - the two boys, 15 and 13 yrs old, both walked over from their house a mile away, brought their dog, and both of them were carrying their guns -- "you know you're in K-Tuck when....." lol) and we took the motorcycles out for a spin, so that was sweet - the weather was perfect.

Came back, had dinner with the cousins and fam, played some games, and now I'm just chillin' before bed again. Probably a similar routine tomorrow, except they're calling for 70 degrees. :-D Then I'm heading down to Richmond to see my other grandparents on Friday, and I'll be down there till Sunday, when I head back up.

Oh, spring break: I love you. :-)
