Wednesday, September 25, 2013

Autumn has started and the September month is almost over. With an end of Summer visit to the Midwest for an extended family reunion and 60th pre-Fall Birthday's for the parents, in addition to celebrating their 40th Wedding Anniversary, Summer ended with a bang! Louisville was the place of the celebration staying at a river front hotel and brunch at the Galt House downtown. 

Rivue for Sunday Brunch. Louisville doesn't get much more spectacular.

The pooch was taken off my hands by a local dog walker while our party brunched and later met up at WorldFest Louisville 2013.

Loved the Waterfront 'Belle of Louisville' tooting old-time  tunes while we walked around at World Fest.
The middle of July was a long awaited trip by my sister's family with a visit hosting in LA and to Santa Barbara for other fun. Universal Studios, LA Farmer's Market, Santa Monica, etc., etc.!

Back in the saddle with work and other things, a lot of events have been taking place. My favorite of the summer was America's Cup in San Francisco Bay! Have you seen the new sailboats? Simply Amazing.

The race has been going on starting America's team, Oracle Team USA. A penalty violation was upheld which was against America putting them behind for their first 2 victories. Well, today, USA beat New Zealand for the 34th America's Cup!! Hydro foiling upwind at 30-32 knots, never seen before in America's Cup. It took USA 8 consecutive victories to take the title race!

 The new Sailing, 21st Century style.
