About Scott County, KY

Thanksgiving offers a great opportunity to restart my long neglected blog. It's been a busy year with very little time for fun things like blogging, but I'm thankful for that (so is my wife - keeps me out of her hair and my wallet fuller).

I restart with a great activity (and looming tradition) at one of my favorite local places:

The Cedar Post Restaurant - five miles north of the courthouse in Georgetown, Kentucky.

I see very few of the same people on a frequent basis. Being a lonely Kentucky Licensed Home Inspector, I spend a bit of time there for the camaraderie the staff and other members of the Liar's Table provide. It also provides a great place to write my reports while someone else brings me coffee!

Beverly Nobles, the matriarch of the Cedar Post clan, once again held her annual Thanksgiving Customer Appreciation Dinner. The day before Thanksgiving, she shuts the doors early and hosts a Cedar Post Clan family Potluck Dinner. She provides the place. The Cedar Post Clan provides the food.

Bring a covered dish or dessert - eat all you want.

Boy, did I eat all I wanted. (What a way to stack on some extra winter weight, I mean warmth!)

It was a good time for all that attended. (I lost count somewhere around 100.)

One of Beverly's grandsons had his Birthday party, complete with a piñata in the middle of it. Good entertainment for the little ones, and lots of laughs for the adults watching the kids swing at it. No, nobody got hit. Daddy was smart enough to hang the pinata from the ceiling. Though it was difficult to make enough room so none of the Clan or the food table got hit.

If you're passing through Georgetown, Kentucky, get off I-75 at exit 129, go west a half mile over the hill to the Cedar Post Restaurant and let Beverly and her gang feed you some good home cooking. You'll make it a regular stop!

If the front parking is full (like it was that afternoon) pull around to the left side parking lot.

And, you might even get to sit in my "office"!

I've been fortunate that in all the crawl spaces in all the world (that I've been into) I hadn't yet found any of those nasty poisonous critters that tend to inhabit those dark nether regions of a house.

Until TODAY that is. Inspecting a brand new (one year, never been occupied) home in a subdivisiion north of Georgetown, Kentucky.

Fortunately I saw her before she saw me.

Pretty as she was, there was still an audible "pop" as gloved hands sent her to Heaven. Along with a short note in the buyer's report about treating the crawl space for spiders.

Worst I've ever ran into before (and still) was a snarling possum behind a piece of plywood in the dirt floored cellar of an older home in Georgetown, KY.

The other morning, I was out on my second run of the day (yep, I'm an early riser) and noticed a rainbow at sunrise over Georgetown, Ketucky. I snapped this picture and wanted to share it with y'all. I actually took several but shooting into the sun isn't exactly my strong point.

See the rainbow ends at both sides of the sun??

Yeah, there's a little snow on the ground, but it was gone just a couple of days later. That's what I like about the weather here. We get these little touches of winter, play, and then it's gone again. Not much extended cold weather around here.
