Ali Center – Louisville Kentucky

by Kay~Kacey on 8/31/2011

So when we go visit SuperGuy’s Mom and sister in Lexington, we drive through Louisville. Right at the river there are these tile murals and I finally remembered to have my camera out and ready to take photos!

Okay, not the best photo…but I couldn’t convince SuperGuy to stop in the middle of the interstate. (really, he should be more supportive of my photography, shouldnt’ he??  :toofunny:  ) But you can kind of see here that the tiles are arranged to suggest images of Mohammad Ali.  (okay, so we’ve been going past that for years, and I had to Google what it was. I just knew it was faces.)

This side I always thought was runners…but I guess it’s boxers 😉

When you get up close to it, it just looks like a tile wall. Kind of like magic!

Okay, darnit, you can still see the faces vaguely on this one…once again, SuperGuy would not stop on the freeway…

There you have it. Another road trip adventure with Kacey and SuperGuy!

Decorating with Photos

by Kay~Kacey on 8/29/2011

We’re finally getting around to decorating the walls of The Love Nest. SuperGuy’s bar area turned out really well, didn’t it?

bar themed photosYes, notice the drink themed photos. The bad thing? I had like TONS of drink photos to choose from… :beer:

great room decorating ideasThen we rearranged the great room and made it look less cluttered. I really like how it turned out. Love having photos scattered around too.

wall shelvesSuperGuy made me these wall shelves. :heart: Then after he hung them on the wall, he sat on the couch and let me run around the house grabbing things to put on them and told me to “move it to the right a couple of inches.” “No, that doesn’t look good.” “What is it with you and Mason jars.”

Still didn’t get rid of his silly sun thingie…but at least it’s off of the mantle!!

Stuck in Traffic – St. Louis Arch

by Kay~Kacey on 8/23/2011

So we got stuck in a huge traffic jam coming into St. Louis from the Illinois side this weekend. Why was I so happy about it? Because I got some awesome shots of the arch and a blimp flying around as we sat there on the bridge.

SuperGuy was thrilled with me. “Scoot up a couple of feet. Don’t let that truck get beside us!! It will block my view!!” “You don’t mind if I roll down the window for a bit in this 95 degree weather do you, honey?” :hysterical:

I was so excited to the get blimp “inside” the arch!! Now I’m motivated to go downtown and get more shots of the city. I’m sure SuperGuy will be thrilled! 😉  Though maybe I could talk him into one of our photo competitions…
