One of my favorite things to do is go thru the book section at Wal-mart. Picking up a book and getting lost in the pages, is my version of a "mini take your mind on vacation break." At any rate, on my last mini vacation thru a Better Homes and Garden issue, I was drawn to an article about the Rockcastle River Trading Co. The magazine was filled with wonderful photos of a garden I would love to see,and what a surprise when I realized this is in Eastern Kentucky, and a very short trip for me. Amazing sometimes, all the little places you can just overlook. So, I ventured there with my mother, and it was a gorgeous place..and to see the pages of that magazine, become real life, was just neat! I even managed to spot their miniature horses in the back of the store. The River Company is owned by the Carloftis family, and son Jon has gardened for the stars. If you visit you will be greeted by Lucille, his elegant mother. She was very sweet, and seemed to fit perfect into the classy surroundings.. sitting there listening to Louy Armstrong. I just had to share this great find!
