Kenny's 55th Birthday

Kenny's 55th Birthday W I'm not too good at keeping this up to date! I'm in the fourth week after my shoulder surgery and it's very boring and still can't do anything with my arm. I tried to paint a little but I think it was too soon and made it hurt! But last weekend was a wonderful Kenny "Birthday" time! We went to SC on saturday and mother had a great dinner for us (in the dining room of course) of filet, potatoes salad (we brought the tomato's) and cake and ice cream. We just had a wonderful visit with mother and daddy. Then on Sunday morning we got up and left the babies with Granny and Papa and took off for the mountains! We drove to Hendersonville and had a nice lunch and walked around downtown. There was an art show on the streets but it was very hot. We wanted to get to the Pisgah Inn and arrived about 3 pm to wonderful cool air! Our room was nice and had the porch with rocking chairs overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains. We relaxed and went to dinner about 8 pm - still had to wait on a table by the windows about 45 minutes so we were starved but it was worth the wait. Fresh mountain trout! We went back to the room and just "sat" on the porch and watched the stars in that wonderful mountain air. I even had to put on a long sleeve shirt! We slept with the windows open and still had to cover up - now that is heaven in August. The next morning we went for breakfast and it was very chilly and raining. We sure hated to leave there because when we drove down the mountain the temperature went from 63 - 92 in about 20 minutes! We got to Asheville and parked and walked but way too hot. We visited a few art galleries then headed back home. We got back to mother and daddy's and kissed the babies a LOT! We missed them being with us but I think they liked being at Granny's better. We had wonderful soup and sandwches then headed home. Kenny was 55 on Monday and the night in the mountains was a great way to spend a birthday! Now, this past week we have broken records almost every day with the heat. And the air conditioner went out at Beluga on Friday so it was pretty miserable but we got through the weekend. So now it's back to physical therapy tomorrow and Wednesday - then to Columbus on Wednesday night to play at Belloo's next weekend. And I'll try and do better with this blog! The "Best" of the week: Rocking away on the porch in 60 degree weather in the quiet and looking at the starts with my "Birthday Boy"!!!!
