buttermilk falls

I was here once before. Way back when it was just a waterfall in the woods. They turned it into a county park at some point, so I thought it would be fun to visit again. So, I went there this morning to check it out. It was mostly as I remembered it, but much more convenient to access. There were a number of other groups there before and after me, but I managed to have some time to myself behind the falls. I haven’t been to a lot of waterfalls, so I don’t know if this is unusal, but you can go behind the waterfall here, which is kind of cool.

jake

jake visit

Jake had to come in for a work thing (something unavoidable that had been scheduled for a while, unfortunately for him). It was good to see him even though he’d only been gone a few weeks. We went to my parents’ for lunch on Sunday, worked on the puzzle a few times (a neverending puzzle that we’ve been working on for a year!), and he got to hang out with his friends a few nights. I’m not sure when I’ll see him again, but I’m planning a trip down there this fall, which I’m looking forward to.

books

billy summers

I’m loving these crime novels from Stephen King! The first act of this book was top notch. The rest of it was pretty great. The story was about a hit man who planned on doing his last job, which turned out to be more complicated than most. There were so many good parts, but one of the best parts was where the main character started writing an autobiographical book, so it was like two stories in one.

My rating: 4/5

the golden gathering

I took Tilly to this event again this year. The turnout was slightly better than last year (over 85 goldens were in attendance today). Just like last year, it was a lot of fun. I don’t think Tilly enjoys it, but she’s out of luck, because we’re going to go every year.

live entertainment

blues show

Last night, there was a benefit at PNG Park for the St. Vincent Family Kitchen. Two blues artists (Anthony Rosano & The Conqueroos and Tab Benoit) played at it, so I wasn’t about to miss that show! Both acts were great and Anthony joined Tab for his encore and that was probably the best song of the night.

There are a bunch of shows scheduled at the park this summer (including one I missed last weekend), but this will probably be my favorite (other than the Flood City Music Festival).
