Kickin' Back in Kentucky

I've always said, you don't need to own a house at the lake; you just need friends that do.  I was able to snag an invite to Ray and Jennifer's Lake Barkley hideaway last weekend. It has no internet, but there's always a work around.

Food at a lake house always tastes better especially when it's prepared by others.

And all you have to do is finish that single-serving bottle of Rosé and the cheese board.

No lake house would be complete without a fridge covered in vacation magnets.

This was my contribution.

Many of the world's problems are solved with a raft and a refreshing beverage.

We cleaned the lake off of us and headed to Paducah for our friend's art show. Thanks to Mia for the snap!

I'm a very bad friend and got busy talking and didn't take one picture of the show. The important thing is we look damn good, amIright?

Downtown Paducah is cute as it can be. I'm already planning a return trip.

We ended the night at Tribeca (not that Tribeca) with margaritas and lively conversation.

Thanks Ray and Jennifer! I hope to spend more quality time on that porch.

Get to the Ruth Baggett Gallery and see my friend, John Toomey's show.
