Wednesday July 28, 2010: We drove to Louisville Airport on Monday the 12th to pick up Jessica. When we went in and looked at the board for arrivals her plane was not on the list. I had a bit of panic attack until we talked to an agent who said not all flights are listed on that board and that her flight had just landed. Then Jessica texted us and told us her plane was just sitting there waitng for the other plane to leave the gate they were supposed to come in to. That plane had been delayed because the pilot had not showed up! We stopped on the way home to see the Louisville Temple. We almost drove right by it, It's so small. It is built next to the LDS Chapel in Crestwood and they actually share the same parking lot. It's really nice to think it is only 45 minutes away from where we live because when we lived here 20 years ago our area was assigned to The Altlanta Georgia Temple and was a once a year bus trip. Now we can go any Saturday morning we can.
So, it was really fun to have Jessica here with us. First thing she did was to help me go thru all of the Kitchen boxes and figure out what to keep, what to sell at a garage sale and where to put stuff away since the kitchen is so much smaller now. We decided to keep all the china packed for now and put all the stoneware in the china cabinet. All the food stuff is in the pantry except for spices and the baking stuff that is again in the corner round about cupboard. All of the rest of the upper cupboards have mixing bowls, measuring cups, casseroles and storage containers. And the two other bottom cupboards have the pots, pans and baking trays in them. It's a good thing we brought the TV stand from the front bedroom because that is now the microwave stand and the hot pads, dishcloth, and tablecloth cupboard. We hung pictures up in the livingroom and put the grandchildren's pictures along the piano. And that was enough cleaning and organizing for now. We finally got to go in to the county building and get our driver's licenses and get our vehicles registered. We went to the Aquarium one day and out to dinner. We went to the zoo one day. It was hot and muggy. Then we went out to dinner. Jessica and I went shopping a couple of days. I was looking for dress clothes and shoes for work and she was looking for whatever! We just had fun being together again and talking. She loved how green it is here and all the narrow winding roads (which she wanted to drive on). She loved the big old plantation type homes with the big yards.
There are basically three ways out of our neighborhood: Cody Rd will take you over to Turkeyfoot Rd, which is the way we go to the Dentist office and to the Church. Independence Station Rd will take you out to State Rd 17 which is the way to Fidelity and Walmart and the freeway to go into Cincinnati. And then if you go thru the lower part of the neighborhood and come out onto Bristow Rd; if you turn left it will take you to our Towne Square where we fill up with gas and get fountain pepsi, get haircuts, have the dry cleaners, the grocery store, the hardware store, the nursery and go to dinner. If you turn right onto Bristow Rd it will turn into Mt Zion Rd where Lori's job is (at the Fifth Third Bank) and the freeway to go to Florence Mall (north) or to Louisville (south). Sounds complicated but you get used to it and it seems like a smaller area.
