Thought we'd get Gretchen out for some play time in the office. She immediately found a toy that she DID NOT want to let go of. She is so sweet and such a little furry baby, we want to see her in a good home. She acts like the puppy she is when we get her out of the kennel. Come give her a home, foster her, or sponsor her at the Franklin County Humane Society 502-875-7297

Left my parents house the night we had Christmas Eve dinner and it was snowing. It isn't often we have a White Christmas in and around this area because the snow is most likely January and February. The roads were pretty bad. Local Lexington Kentucky roads were the worst, US 60 in Woodford County was the best with slushy, as well as US 127 with slushy snow covered. Interstate 64 was slushy and snow covered in spots. All in all it was a great Christmas. I got to see my family and have a great dinner. I'll get to see my brother and his family in a few days. Cant wait.
