#1 – This is my best side, take the picture, I’m posing for it.

#2 – The Dog – This is a hard job but someone has to lay here and look beautiful. Don’t you love how shiny my coat is?

#3 – The picture with that baby in it, that one up front is saying “Don’t you just love my white beard, isn’t it to die for?”

#4 – Todd feeding – “If we surround him, he cannot get out and then we can eat all we want.”

#5 – Dreadlock one – “Come a little closer and kiss me, you know you really want to.”

#6 – White/tan llama – “Here I am, take some pictures, you know I’m gorgeous. Don’t you just love the way I look?”

#7 – White/tan llama – “How is this pose, is it okay?”

#8 – White/tan llama – “Wow you are really close there, can you see my gorgeous eyelashes. I know I’m pretty.”

#9 – Black Cat – “Come a little closer with that camera missy and I will attack it.”

#10 – Madi and the cat – “Okay, finally someone that will play with me, this is fun and I love all this attention.” “Can I go home with you Madi?”

#11 – Tori & Madi at the gazeebo – “Awwww” Great picture and you both look lovely!!!! So what were you two talking about?

Okay, I would like to go there for about a month and just enjoy everything, it looks so peaceful there. That is a gorgeous place and I can see why you girls wanted to go back. It looks like someplace you can go to several times and enjoy it every time. Glad you had such a great time. I love places like that where you don’t have to spend hours in the car to get to. A few hours and you are there, enjoying your stay.

You know what I said about Virginia? I would still love to live in the mountains of Virginia,BUT now I’m thinking maybe for half of the year I’ll live in Maine. I just spent the day touring up the coast of Maine and I loved it!It was so pretty and nice and cool and historic (historical?). Matthew ate his first lobster (or should I say wrestled with his first lobster) in a restaurant overlooking the beach.
So far I’ve lived in FL,OH,AR,AL, and I’m on my second venture into TN. Maybe I’ll branch out to some other places for the second 50 years of my life.

I did that with the first child A LOT. Now that I am teaching the third how to drive I’ve learned to (1)not assume that they know what they’re doing (in spite of the fact that they think they have absorbed everything from just watching for 16 years)and (2) not let them on real streets until I feel comfortable with that.
An example: When Megan began driving,I never thought to tell her that AFTER she made a turn she needed to allow the steering wheel to return to it’s normal position. Therefore, we did a 360,jumped a curb, and ended up in a median. We both were somewhat stunned but gamely travelled on.
See? I can do this.

Allison– you’re on.

(Madi doesn’t appear to be in a huge hurry to start driving yet, for which we are thanking our dear Lord every day. I would not be good at teaching. I think I have a tendency to do that shriek-and-hit-the-imaginary-brake thing…)

The very first picture–the first caption that came to mind was ”Who invited all these TACKY people” said in a very ‘diva-ish’ llama voice…and the others…I’m just too tired to try to be clever and think. I’m in BOSTON!!!
We got here on Tuesday and have been eating clam chowder,walking,taking boat rides,walking,touring Berklee and walking.I really like the city.Over the walking.
I think KY is gorgeous,too. I went to Lexington 2 years ago for a football game and stayed an extra day to just wander around near the university where all the older houses are.I also have a huge thing about the state of VA. I would probably move there if I had my way.
Give Madi a belated birthday hug. Tell her I’ll come teach her how to drive now that she’s sixteen. I’ve already been through that with two teenage girls–and lived to tell about it.

I will go as far north (south, east or west) as I can! Our business manager Zach once told me that I was a “travel slut”– he said, “You’ll go anywhere, anytime with anybody!” I believe that was right after I went to Iceland … in December…

I almost feel as though I was there. The alpaca/llama description made me bust out laughing! They are so darn cute no matter what they are or how their ears are shaped.

So how far north would you be willing to come to escape? I’m just saying . . .

ROTFLMBO That is a good caption Linda!

That is a beautiful house, isn’t it Wendy? I just love the staircase! I picture myself coming down those stairs on a misty summer morning……..in my ratty nightgown and Snoopy slippers. I could be a postcard picture!

Ditto on the hair color change, Tori—–except your color you have now is striking. What about that reddish color and lots of blonde highlights? It’d be a gradual change, and very pretty. I think one of those alpacas had that color combo.

Here’s another caption—–(see what you’ve done—eggin’ me on like this! I can’t quit thinking about it!)…….”don’t hate me because I spit!” LOL

I want that Inn for my house! Great pictures!
The Llamas and alpacas are so cute. I’m thinking the alpacas are the shaggy ones…

Go for that hair color you want , Tori . You’ll look stunning. Change is fun!

ROTFL Good ones Linda! Actually mine were more like this:
1) HEY! She has on MY coat!
2) HONESTLY! Do I HAVE to claim these relatives?!

And I love the one of the man feeding the animals. Here’s a good one for that:
“Get away from my leftovers or you are going to get spit on!”
(I have horses remember. They give you that laid-back ear expression too when you feed them and if you aren’t very careful, they will mistake you for another horse trying to get their feed and kick the crap out of you!)

And the white llama: “Do my ears really look like bananas?”

And of course, can’t forget the cat! He has that same look as my cat when you take a picture of her – “Get that camera out of my face – NOW!” LOL

Seriously though, it is a beautiful place and I am so glad you and Madi (is she back to spelling it with one “d” yet? LOL) had such an awesome time. It’ll give her precious memories for years to come.

Kentucky is a beautiful state! My sister moved there a few years ago, and when I go down to visit her, I love to go exploring the countryside. Loved Lexington and the beautiful horse farms best!

Okay, here’s my captions:

1) Do you mean your right or my right?

2) Does this coat make me look fat?

3) Do you think George Clooney has a black and white hairy brother who’s available?

And I wouldn’t think of judging you…….I do that ALL THE TIME!!! But I am weird.
