Last weekend flew by because of the good times we were having with our friends, but the rest of this week has slowed to a crawl.  You'd think I'd be happy for the slow down considering how busy everything always is around here, but it feels like more of a dragging things out than slowing them down.

So last weekend we took our city slicker friends to the World Chicken Festival where they "oohed" and "aahed" over the world's largest skillet and getting to meet Colonel Sanders.  We sat up late drinking coffee and laughing our asses off at the absurdities of the world.  We made major decisions about how we want to be honored when we leave this world, and G and I have decided we may be with the two weirdest men on earth.

We took them to see the Cumberland Falls where we climbed rocks with the kids and avoided snakes and spiders and tried our best not to fall and bust our asses.  We moaned about our ages when the kids made fun of us for not being able to keep up.  The kids had as much fun as we did.

We gave David a birthday party on Monday in our own special way.  Translation:  We got him a giant Spongebob cake, fed him ice cream, made him beat a pinata, and kicked his butt in a silly string fight.

Screw had to work on Monday and G was sweet enough to give David and me some time to ourselves.  We chased a blue heron for about an hour just to get the perfect picture,  We drove around and talked about the good old times and promised it wouldn't be another four years before seeing one another again.

The time with them was just what Screw and I needed.  We rarely get to hang out with grown up friends.  We miss them already.

I could provide links to the things I mentioned above, but the only real link I need to give you is to David's Flickr account.  He has a gift with that camera of his.  I grew up here, and I have never seen this area captured with more beauty and character than what he caught this  past week.  As of last night, he had only just gotten started wading through the hundreds of pictures he took, but the few he had up were amazing.  I want him to come back during the first full moon he can so he can capture the moonbow* on film.  I just know it will be breathtaking.

*We are now the proud owners of the world's only moonbow.  Formally we were the site of one of two, but due to cutting down forests surrounding the other one in Africa, it has since disappeared.*
