Happy Friday to all!!!

Last weekend we had some family members fly in to attend the Mother of all Father's Day Brewfests with us! We had a great time and while we were there I captured this photo. If you look carefully you will see a rainbow - smiling down on us. I have never seen an upside down rainbow, it was pretty awesome!

Happy Friday to everyone!

Sorry I had no quotes last week since I was gone. But my trip back east for my daughters wedding shower with family was a great success!!!! I was a bit sleep deprived by the time I got back - we were gone less than 3 days so quite a distance to travel in that short of a time - but we had a marvelous time.

Below is this weeks selections of quotes. Enjoy and I will see y'all next Friday

Daytime Lane Closures on SR-516

Expect Long Delays

Construction Scheduled for June 15 - July 10

Starting Monday, June 15th, expect daytime lane closures on SR-516 / Kent Kangley Rd. from Highway 18 to 168th Place S.E. This will be in effect to allow for the installation of a new median over a four week period.

One lane in each direction will be closed for the construction. One eastbound lane will close from 5 a.m. to 3 p.m. and one westbound lane will close from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. The City of Covington recommends planning ahead for traffic delays during the construction period or altering your schedule or route to avoid the lane closures.

The median installation is one part of an overall improvement project which also includes new sidewalks, crosswalks and traffic signals at the intersection of SR-516 and 168th Place S.E. When complete, the project will allow for improved traffic flow and pedestrian safety.
