I spent most of this weekend in Somerset, KY at Sarah's parent's house. Saturday was a beautiful day and we spent a good portion of it walking around the fields.

It was nice to take a simple walk for a change with no where in particular that I had to go. The weekend overall was a rare time to really relax for me. The horses certainly didn't mind us being out there with them as they were too intent on eating the grass.

Sarah and I also just sat out at this little gazebo they have out in the middle of one of the fields that they keep the horses in. From it there's a great view of the surrounding area as the entire property is up on a hill.

We also got a chance to go out and see the new lot that they just bought on Lake Cumberland. Right now there's a little trailer on the lot (as in camper), but they're going to pull it out and build a cabin in it's place. I think they're expecting me, and everyone else for that matter, to help build it. Personally, I think it's a great idea. I know Dr. Perkins (Al) wants to get started as soon as possible and I can understand why with the view they have. Plus the private boat dock, can't imagine a better little get away.

We ended Saturday night with a bonfire back at the house. If you look in the right-hand bottom corner you can see people sitting down to give you an idea of how high the flame got. I hadn't been around a fire that big that I could remember since I was in Boy Scouts back in high school. It reminded me of my inner pyro as I helped keep the area around the fire clear. I tried to relax and smoke my pipe that night too, but for some reason (probably incompetance on my part) I just couldn't keep the thing lit. Just sitting there and having some s'mores was a nice end to a great day.

Sunday turned out to be a good day too, though the weather definately didn't help things. It was Sarah's grandmother's birthday, which was the primary reason we had gone down, that day. So about 15 people were over at the house to celebrate and we ended up grilling out. I, as usual, manned the grill after helping prepare the kabobs. I think that Sarah's mom felt bad that I spent most of the time they were eating out by the grill watching over the next set of the kabobs, but I didn't mind. I definately enjoy grilling out and still had more than my fill of the food. I just hope Grandma liked everything.

Another thing I like about this family is that I've played more games in the past few months of dating Sarah than I have in probably the last two years. At least since Hatfield and Jeff moved out of town. We use to play Risk or some video game all the time over at Hat's place. It's just a nice change of pace to do something besides watch TV or movies all the time.
