Boots in the Bluegrass

 I LOVE getting to go to Kentucky.  Not only is it a beautiful state with soft rolling hills, green lush grass, and immaculate horse farms everywhere; it is home to my best friend of many decades (yes decades)!!  We don't get to see each other as often as we like because who could make a weekly drive or flight to see each other?  We live 13 hours apart, have 5 kids, 2 husbands, and 1 dog all between us:)  

Last weekend I flew to Lexington to see Andrea.  The first night we were there we drove out to Versailles KY to a little winery for "Boots in the Bluegrass".  This was a military/work benefit sponsored by Jeff's work.  That might not be totally accurate as I wasn't paying too much attention to the details.  Hey, I was on "vacation" right?!  I did get the "boots" part and rocked out my Oklahoma cowgirl boots in the Bluegrass state.  

Truth be told we were all freezing.  We didn't stay too long there as we were all cold and there just wasn't enough food left that was to our liking.  We made our presence known (or rather Jeff did) and we left to find more grub to eat somewhere else.  

Almost everytime Andrea and I are together you can be assured Japanese hibaji will be on the menu at some point. Last weekend was no different.  On our "date night" we dressed up and went to eat at Asuka (very delicious).  We both enjoy having someone else cook our dinners for a change.  That's always fun to watch people get shrimps thrown at their faces and sake poured in their mouths.  Who doesn't like to hear the "Japanese Egg Roll" joke every once in awhile?  For those that eat at these types of places regularly you should totally know which joke I am referring to.  

You know what's also great about having Andrea as your best friend?  She can sew.  And, I do mean, SEW folks.  She has such a sweet, caring, and giving attitude about her talent.  She found some fabric in her sewing room (there's quite a large collection of fabric in there to chose from) and in her "spare" time of this weekend she personalized and sewed us matching infinity scarves.  Now, if that's not an awesome best friend I don't know what is!
