Rest Days in Big Clifty, KY

We are really enjoying our rest days in Big Clifty, KY at the farm of Nancy's cousin Ben Duvall and his wife Wanda.  We arrived Saturday afternoon and were also greeted by Nancy's cousin Jane and her husband Jesse from Nashville, TN and Nancy's Aunt Gladys.  Nancy's cousin Victor came over later.  So, we had a mini- family reunion!  We had lots of laughs and were only too sorry that Jane and Jesse had to leave.  Ben and Wanda took us on a tour of the farm before dark - what a beautiful farm they have!

On Sunday we all went to church and Nancy saw an old friend she hadn't seen in 50 years!  We had a family lunch after church then Ben took Dana, Fran and Nancy fishing on the farm.  We actually caught enough bass to cook for dinner!

We also had a chance to visit some with Ben and Wanda's son Eric and his father-in-law Gary.

On Sunday evening Ben and Wanda entertained us with their music talent on the guitar, mandolin and bass.  They are really talented Bluegrass musicians!

On Monday Dana, Fran and Donna went to Mammoth Caves National Park while I (I was at Mammoth Caves last year with my granddaughters) stayed on the farm and visited with Wanda.  We're having a family dinner again tonight with Victor and Joyce, Aunt Gladys, and Ben and Wanda.  Wanda is making a REAL pumpkin pie for us right now out of homegrown pumpkins - can't wait to have a piece!

Tomorrow we'll be back on the bikes and riding to Bardstown, KY.
