MINI VACATION (a few hours of fanboat and eating l

MINI VACATION (a few hours of fanboat and eating lunch in a table instead of my lap while driving) for a workaholic was much needed. Honestly, feel like I’ve taken a week off and now ready to get back to it! Happy Monday y’all! Now let’s go get it! 💪💪👌🇺🇸 @landandhomes.co #vacation #minivacation #rockcastlerivertradingcompany #funtimes #friends #backtowork #newperson #ilovemyjob #ilovemyjobbutneededabreak #familyhome #familyproperty #carloftisstyle

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY Maybe because my Ruby (moved in

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY Maybe because my Ruby (moved in with my grandmother in 1938) raised me in our home (and told me that when I was “born-ded”, the minute I was delivered into this world, I was taken across the hall at the Marymount Hospital into Ruby’s room that Momma and Daddy got for her so she could start nurturing me from an in-FANT (as she called it...🥰) I didn’t quite realize that Momma was my Momma. I honestly thought she was a beautiful spirit, an Angel, could never get enough of her smell, the smell of gardenias always in her box purses, her voice that could lull a killer or mean dog into submission. TRUE. Yes, she didn’t bake cookies, rarely cooked and wanted the kitchen out of sight in the basement 😩😂 , never attended a sports event unless she could drive up overlooking the football field and sit in her white Coupe D’Ville while listening to Diana Ross. She petted her grandchildren with the back of her hand (well...she was a Marcum and they are usually cold as ice, plus McWhorter-dipped as she called it, smart as can be but “quare”) She had more STYLE than anyone on this Earth. Somehow, she gave me, all of us, the confidence (not fake crap, the real stuff that is result of knowing you have to work to get your goal💪), manners, respect for ALL others regardless of color, wealth or looks. Tenacity. The ability to take anything bad and make it GOOD. Yes, I’ve had my little down spell today when it started raining, but I’m now happy knowing that she made me into something invincible and only God him/herself can stand in the way of any goal. Now that is 💯LOVE. As @bcabus said when he met her the first time...”Honey, SHE-QUEEN 👑💙🥰” #mothersday #carloftisstyle #love #powerful #momma #twomommas #lucky #manners #respect #heavenly #angelonearth #memories #strength #claycounty #beauty #beautyinsideandout #positivethinker #gracious

FINALLY, the BEST weekend in a long time! Working

FINALLY, the BEST weekend in a long time! Working on a project so exciting that I pinch myself. Friday night, supper with close friends (40+years @stacyjogreer ), Saturday airboat ride behind my family home Rockcastle River @landandhomes.co lunch in Berea, Garden Tour at Botherum then supper @dudleys1981 with friends @pater8656 and cousin Ben Douglas, now BiG breakfast @first.watch Damn, it’s really getting back to normal. This was the first few hours I’ve had to relax/5 hour vacation in over a year. Lordy, did I NEED it! Feeling like a new person today. How about you? Aren’t you happy about pulling out of the plague? #funtimes #happy #friends #friebdship #work #play #ilovemyjob #family #vacation #staycation #rockcastlerivertradingcompany #weekend

MOTHER’S DAY and we finally got our order of Jon Carloftis Fine Gardens @stoneware Crocks (ran out first of December, ordered them then and picked them up yesterday!) These have my name stamped on the bottom and available ONLY at Rockcastle River Trading Co. Don’t know what color or sizes are in the 11 boxes, but grab them while you can... heading down from Lexington to deliver today. You can bake in them, use as a planter, just gorgeous and simple. #joncarloftisfinegardens #rockcastlerivertradingcompany #mothersday #gift #kentucky

FAMILY It ain’t by accident...presenting my niece, Benny Bell, and not by copying @bennybw whose mama was THE GRANDE DAME of Lexington. Yep. We got it good down here. #kentucky #family #carloftisstyle #gonnawhipyourass

THE BEST DAY in a long time... now that it’s Thu

THE BEST DAY in a long time... now that it’s Thursday night, another unbelievable week of work despite the rain on Tuesday, I’ve been thinking about this past Sunday. Worked in my own garden all day, got cleaned up and met Chet and Beauty Lott @chetlott @blueberrylott at TAC Air at arguably the prettiest airport in the US, Bluegrass Airport, surrounded by horse farms, who flew me to Louisville along 64 that I drive several times a week. But, got to see places, homes, farms that you just can’t see from driving. The homes that are hidden away 👀👀👀will blow your mind. Then arriving at Lincliffe for a party @janicecarterlevitch and Steve’s with delicious food and company, then coming back and circling @castleandkey 💪💙 on the way home. Maybe it’s because the plague is almost over, it’s been a year of isolation, the night before was so strange, who knows? Truly, one of my top 10 favorite experiences of my life (and I’ve seen/done some spectacular things over the years through clients and friends) Kentucky has to be the most gorgeous state, especially in the springtime. The best part was when Chet dipped the 🚁 the same way I dip my hat when leaving... SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY at its BEST! @thevoicetribune #appreciation #funday #sundayfunday #southern #kentucky #kentuckyderby #friends #exciting #steamboat #helicopter #bestday
