KENTUCKY  IN JUNE

 During a very busy three day trip to Kentucky in early June with a group from the Givens Estates I visited a Shaker Village, a racetrack and, most exciting of all, a retirement village for aging race horses. We stayed in Berea, a college town, and that , also was most interesting.
