We haven't had a very pretty fall this year, been very cool and rainy. But, this past weekend was really nice, so we drove down to Cumberland Falls to enjoy the last of the remaining warm days. Color wasn't as pretty as it usually is, but it was warm enought to get out and enjoy.
Update on the Secretariat movie I posted about previously (way up on the board, about to roll off): It has a pretty impressive cast. I mentioned Diane Lane and John Malkovich. I saw Malkovich several times while they were shooting the paddock scenes. Also in the movie are Fred Thompson (former GOP Pres candidate, Law & Order). Don't like his politics, but he will make a terrific Bull Hancock (owner of Claiborne). Also, Kevin Connolly (Entourage).
Went to Keeneland last weekend.
Gozzip Girl cost me a few bucks in the QE II. Thought she would come through, but she came in 3rd!
Here's another pic of Calmuet, which is next to Keeneland. You can see this from the highway.
One of my grandsons (I have 6!) went to the Falls with us.
Me having a pretty bad hair day! (We went down close to the falls and I got ''misted'').
Riding the trail at Cumberland Falls. I was riding behind my grandson, and snapped these.
I sure hate to see the end of the nice weather!
