I learned that the artist who did this beautiful work has sadly passed away earlier this year....His name was Kevin Tipton, he was a fine man.....This is in honor of his work.......He was undeniably one of the best souls that ever walked into our life.He was an activist and very passionate about his decision to bring his beliefs into the light.....He came in from Estill County,Kentucky. His private work was brought to light while he was with us....I knew that there was a possibility that if they knew his whereabouts he would surely be killed.....I think that sometimes in life that we never truly know who God has put in our path until they are gone.I am so grateful he walked into ours ....May he rest in peace.

Found these two messages today.....One on top my Mother had hanging on fridge in tavern kitchen.....One on bottom I had pinned to employee bathroom wall just above the toilet tissue dispenser.....Two different messages but equally important.....

Found this one this week.....Mom cooking up something good I am sure...and Little Jewell waiting patiently at back door for a handout....Miss the love of them both and so many others .Mom would say "you're melancholy "...I would get to wailing about things sometimes..That kitchen had alot of lessons taught, learnt and lived.....I felt a hand on my right shoulder one morning in there at 6:00 a.m..peeling potatoes to cook and try to do it half as good as Mom did....It stopped me in my work and I felt the warm touch of a loved one squeeze my shoulder....like it said "you got this" and I froze but I let that spirit touch me.I will never,ever forget that warmth and am glad I was able to recognize it and respect it.....True story....I froze but yet felt alot go through it.Mom was sick and David had passed on to a better place....I know it was him.Mom believed me and to Hell with anyone else who doesn't.

Found on the men's room chalkboard one Summer.....We had some doozies to read occasionally and like one of our longtime customers explained "You Made The Board"...Which could be good or bad depending on the author....Alot of interesting Artwork as well.....

Alot of truth here....Sounds like some of my famous notes that were either read and thrown in trash or Mother would destroy before they made it to press....When all women work together sometimes for months at a time a natural phenomenon would occur and that means we would sometimes all have our monthly visitor at the same time....It was smooth sailing for the most part but sometimes we could scratch each other's eyes out and yet smile and take your orders as the delicate daisy's we were......It was an experience.Business inthe front,muder in the back.....Lol.I had to share this one because it's a classic...

Happy Father's Day to all.....This picture is My Dad,Mom and Moms Aunt Amiee...
Dad always had fine words to.say about her,Lol..Anyway this picture was when my Dad retired from Colgate Palmolive after 33 years. Picture was taken at General Store on 135 and this was probably 1990 not sure but that was where he had his retirement party and what a great time that was. Had to run to New Albany and get Kegs of Falls City beer halfway through it because kept running out alot of good food,cooked a pig in.the ground and it was a good time in life....I love the look on Aunt Amiee's face looking up at Dad like he was Elvis or something.....A classic.
