TotallyOz Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 From Texas to Kentucky I have been a bit absent for the last 2 weeks and I apologize for this. I helped my family move from Texas to Kentucky. Between the packing, the movers, the driving and 2 kids and 4 dogs, it was a hell of a 2 weeks. LOL We had many little issues along the way including hotel problems, driving issues, allergic reactions, all night driving, dropping furniture on my feet, and a few other scrapes and bruises. While I did enjoy my time in Texas when I was there with family, I am now excited to spend some time in Kentucky. It is a beautiful state and while I won't be here long on this trip, I will be returning in the coming months and years. Goodbye Texas. I enjoyed you while I was there but now my heart is in Kentucky! (actually, it is in Thailand but my family is now in Kentucky so part of my heart is there) KYTOP 1 Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 And I'm in Indiana for a few weeks moving my father and his wife to a senior living condo. My only question is why I picked the most humid time of the year to do this? So we'll be neighbors for awhile. We always make fun of Kentuckians although I never really knew why. Quote

Hope you enjoy your new "home". Kentucky is a beautiful state. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4R64qNv9RYI TotallyOz 1 Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted June 22, 2013 Members Posted June 22, 2013 KY is littered with the remains of my ancestors, mostly Bourbon Co, going all the way back to 1705 when it was still part of Virginia. Some of them were land-wealthy having settled the area. My gr.gr.grandfather was a stone mason in Fulton -- not so wealthy. I suspect he may have been a black sheep. TotallyOz 1 Quote
Members RA1 Posted June 22, 2013 Members Posted June 22, 2013 I thought black sheep made all the money (even if some of it illegally). I go to Kentucky a lot on business, mostly small towns in eastern KY but sometimes to such as Louisville. The terrain is pretty and I find the folks to be friendly. I used to think KY was just some place to overfly on the way from TN to elsewhere. Funny how your perspective and opinion changes when you spend some time somewhere, isn't it?

Members TampaYankee Posted June 22, 2013 Members Posted June 22, 2013 I thought black sheep made all the money (even if some of it illegally). In this case he may have married an Indian, as in native american, although the could have had the indian heritage himself considering his early American heritage. Just know that he fell out of the clan and shows in Nashville 1850 census, later showing in Fulton. Also, one of his sons, my gr.grandfather was contacted by the Feds in the 1920s regarding availability of land on a OK Reservation if he wanted it. TotallyOz 1 Quote
Members boiworship Posted June 22, 2013 Members Posted June 22, 2013 I remember driving through Versailles, which they pronounce as ver-sales, one day in late April and being struck by the sheer beauty of the bluegrass countryside. A cute blond I used to see ended up living in Lexington. TotallyOz 1 Quote
Guest CharliePS Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 So you have upgraded your political representation from Ted Cruz and John Cornyn to Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell (ooops!--did I confuse this with the yahoo thread?) Quote

Guest FourAces Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Somehow Texas feels a little emptier today With all the bumps and bruises at least you can say you did it .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlKJ-0bnxdA Quote
