Kentucky Horse Park Campground, Lexington, Kentucky
A hot-tempered man stirs up dissension, but a patient man calms a quarrel. ~ Proverbs 15:1
It was great weather for Halloween today! It was very dark, the wind howled, the leaves were flying, and the rain power-washed the coach and Jeep. I feel bad for all the kids (and their dads 😊), both here and at home in Ohio, who were counting on trick-or-treating this evening to restock their sugar stash.
Pictures from home to brighten our day!
It’s Woody! Since Kade attends a Christian pre-school, he couldn’t wear his Flash costume to school. Blaine and I like this one better anyway. : ) 
Shena’s monster cookies for pre-school.
And Blaine and I were home-bound once again. But once the rain let up, the neighbors got interesting again! Maybe it’s always like this and we should just stay home more when we’re on the road? Nah. I think it’s just this Park and these neighbors. 😊
Some new older ladies showed up to park next to us on the right. They have a pick-up and a trailer, and couldn’t back into their spot. They asked the interesting ones across the street (the 4 ladies and 2 gentlemen) to move their vehicles, which they did, but the older ladies still couldn’t get it, so one of the guys hoped in their truck and did it for them. He actually did a good job, but it was still fun to watch. 😊
The two trucks and the red car belong to our interesting neighbors.
And not too long after they got situated, two Park trucks showed up and parked on either side of us. Three men got out and immediately began working on the new ladies’ power pole. Since when does it take three men to work on one little electric box? Must’ve been a slow day. . . .
It was chai tea (my own special mix: see recipe below) and grilled 4-cheese sandwiches and tomato soup weather all day today. Her very own homemade tomato soup, fresh from their garden, courtesy of our friend Jeannine! Yummm-meeee!! Thanks, Jeannine!
Mmm….Mmmm…Good! 
Good enough to scrape the bowl!
And just before the setting sun hid the fact, we saw snow flurries!
CHAI TEA MIX
1 C. non-fat dry milk powder
1 C. powdered non-dairy creamer
1 C. French Vanilla Flavored creamer
2 C. sugar
1 C. powdered sugar
1 ½ C. unsweetened instant tea
5 t. cinnamon
1 ½ t. nutmeg
4 ½ t. cloves
3 t. ginger
4 t. cocoa (color)
Combine the first 5 ingredients. Mix together the spices then stir into the powder mix. Blend a little at a time in a blender until it’s a fine powder. Store in a zip-lock bag.
When ready to serve, add 4 heaping t. to 1 C. hot water or milk.
HINT: I tweaked the original recipe to try to make it as close to The Chapel’s chai as I could. This is pretty close if you use milk instead of water.
