Thanks Again, ISS

Thanks again, International Space Station, for coming across the Kentucky sky tonight.  The 'Rents and I were able to watch you all for almost five minutes as you all zoomed across.  

Keep up the awesome work.  And we love watching you!

Thank You, Lord

It's not often that I thank the Lord through social media, but today is one of the days that I will.  

Thank you Lord for hearing and answering my prayers today.  And thank you for the lesson learned. 

Amen.

Thank You, ISS

TWIT would like to thank the International Space Station, aka ISS, as you all made another trek across the Kentucky sky tonight.  We were excited to be out in the driveway watching as you moved across the sky.  And we were also out in the driveway last night as you made your way across. 

It's surreal to think about it -- the ISS is bigger than a football field.  

We tip our hats to the astronauts aboard the ISS.  Thank you for the work that you are doing, and we also thank you for the sacrifice you make for being away from your family. 

Way To Go, Kenneth and Sarah

TWIT and I would like to congratulate Kenneth and Sarah Ramsey on being the 2017 Churchill Downs Fall Meet Champion Owner.  

They are two very awesome people, and I am privileged that I got to meet them a couple of weeks ago at the track.  They are very humble, and are a great couple.  They deserve all of the accolades bestowed on them.   We all owe them major props for keeping the love of thoroughbred horse racing alive here in Kentucky. 

Sunday, Sunday

Tomorrow will be Monday, Monday, and that's about all I can say in anticipation of how a Monday will be at work.  

We had an awesome Thanksgiving weekend at The Compound, and can only look forward for tomorrow.

Post-Thanksgiving

I apologize for not posting yesterday on Thanksgiving Day.  It was a great, drama-free day at The Compound.  I honestly couldn't have asked for a better Thanksgiving Day.  

The 'Rents and I decided a few weeks ago that it was senseless for us to fix a big dinner for the three of us, and put leftovers in the fridge that we would forget about, so I did some Googling and we decided to have Cracker Barrel fix our dinner for us.  I set the pick up time for 2:00.  An hour before I left to pick it up, I made the obligatory green bean casserole and put it in the oven to bake while I went to pick up our dinner.  And lo and behold, it was ready on time.  

We enjoyed turkey, ham, dressing, dumplins, sweet potato casserole and biscuits and corn muffins from Cracker Barrel, along with some of their great gravy and cranberry sauce.  And Patti LaBelle fixed our sweet potato pie.  We were just thankful that other people cooked our dinner for us.
