Goin' to Jackson (ville)

03.03.2013 63 °F

Another beautiful spring day - so boring, just no break in this glorious weather - snow flurrys in Kentucky. After coffee at the co-op we returned to the B&B for breakfast. Seated at the table was a young musician with his wife and baby. They were interesting to talk to. Mary served shirred eggs - something I haven't had since I was a girl and Mom fixed them.

Knowing this is Ben's rare morning to sleep in we walked to the park and then stopped at one of my favorite coffee houses - the barrista creates these elaborate designs in the cream.

Finally about 11:30 Ben joined us and we headed to Jacksonville - a little historic town and on to a winery road. Lots of fun. The guys were a little amused because I found the walking tour map and buildings confusing and that sort of thing drives Ben crazy. He doesn't like dithering - turn the map the right way to match the coordinates and id the buildings. Oh yeah? Well it still didn't make much sense to me.

We went to a winery only to learn the winery didn't have any wine - how is that possible? Instead we got to taste wine from his friends vineyards - who don't have tasting rooms...kind of odd, but it somehow it worked. The vintner is from Ohio, manages his own vines, has chickens, sheep & geese and a delightful sense of humour.
