Hollo Cave City!!!
It's a beautiful morning and it's getting close to tourist season for the Mammoth Cave area.

Question: Do you think that tourism here is Cave City is a value add to our community? Why or why not?

Much appreciated!
If you live in Cave City or know someone who does.... I would appreciate you sharing this post.

Alright! Dues is paid. Paperwork is filed...
I'm going to run for Cave City City Council!

Building the future, while respecting the past!

Because those that built this town deserve to be a part of the future of this town. and progress doesn't mean progressive.

I look forward to the challenges ahead and gaining knowledge from EVERYONE in the community on how we can create solutions to make Cave City a place where EVERYONE prospers (YES, even the millions of tourists we have each year) and become a benchmark for other world class tourism towns...

I would appreciate your comments and feedback throughout this process.

Thank you
JP Merlo

I got a cat who will only drink out of the kitchen sink while it’s running.

So I took one of my miniature water pumps and rigged up a little cat bowl fountain…

He loves it!!😂😂😂
Spoiled cat! Has 200 fish tanks to drink out of… but nooooo!

Daddy’s gotta make a water fountain!🙄

Hey hey hey!!
I haven’t posted much over the past year… remodeling work has been overwhelming to say the least.
Balancing work and family is often difficult for me. I am an ALL IN kindve guy and that usually mean spending too much time on something’s and not others.

The rescue is doing fine and we’re still taking in fish and reptiles. The winter has been freezing and we all made it through just fine!😅

We’ve got a new chocolate lab pup (not so much pup!) His name is BEAR. Coa Coa love whipin’ on him and taking all the attention.

But of course there’s always enough to go around.

Gonna be posting more often and getting things rolling here.

We’re still planning on the expo I just have to iron out the exact dates. Stay tuned.

Love ALL YALL!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻

You might think it’s don’t gloomy outside. But it ain’t! Just above these stinkin clouds the sun is shining, bright, and warm, and awesome as it always is!

Be a visionary! Look past the distractions and the doom and the gloom, and know that God is good, and always shining!

When you’ve always done 10 reps, make it 100, seriously! Don’t leave until you hit 100!

This will change your perspective on life permanently. You will walk like a new human being. With power and accomplishment in everything you do.

And when you hit 100 next time do 500! Seriously! I never thought that day would happen, and now it happens often.

P**s off the enemy as much as possible! (And you know who THAT is) don’t let him have an inch. Give that inch to the lord! Then give Him a foot! Then give Him a mile.

Because you still can… and should!

Enjoy the day, conquer the day!

Know you’re loved!
Now bless someone for no reason.

I love watching the kids come to the rescue and trip out on the animals.

It was life changing for me as a kid and I’m overwhelmed and humbled that I am part of changing other kids lives.

Brian Barczyk is an awesome force for the animal lovers community to say the least.

His journey is coming to an end but the man just mentioned that he loves Jesus and will soon be in heaven.

I’m so very happy to hear that!

I pray for him and his family often.

But soon he will be in a much better place than us. And will forget all this crazy world. To be presence with the lord will be overwhelming.

I made him a short video…
