The latest



Since the last post so many things have happened.

First, Kim and I went to Costa Rica for 5 days. I like giving presents that I don't have to wrap! What an incredible place!!! What did we do? Let's see...we saw an active volcano from it's rim (looking down into it - gasses spewing), saw a beautiful waterfall (we got to go behind it), ate local food many times, ate fruit straight from the trees, saw the largest population of crocodiles in the Amercias, took a zip-line canopy tour through the rainforst, ate a termite, boogieboarded in the Pacific ocean (Keith only), lazed on a deserted beach, saw iquanas and 3-toed sloths, hiked through the rainforest to another waterfall, saw white-faced and howler monkeys in the rainforest, saw a humpbacked whale in the Pacific (I was on the boogieboard and only about 200 yards from where it surfaced), rode horses on the beach at sunset, crossed a river in a compact car (4 times), met people from Ca., Co., Switzerland, & Germany, drank straight from coconuts, etc., etc. There was much more. What a great time!!!




We left warm Costa Rica and arrived in cold
Alabama. The weather was cold but the holiday with our family was just right. A great time was had by all!!!











This past weekend Kim fulfilled a lifelong dream - she got to see the Harlem Globetrotters. They were funny and it turns out the the main clown is from Kentucky! Can you believe they were in Pikeville???
