So here is a photo of Miss Wilma's little house where I stayed. It was filled with all kinds of treasures. Old quilts, dough bowls, primitve dolls, chairs, dresses, hats, wooden blocks, her famous and wonderful beyond belief pillows, sticherys, towel holders, one from later part of the 1800's, tins, rolling pins, history in every little space around me. Learning some of the history of "what is this" was lots of fun.

Now you can laugh at me, but I thought I did such a great job getting pictures and I did for me, but as I have started going through them I realize that it hasn't left some people in the best poses. No one wants their back side only in a shot. At least I sure as heck wouldn't, so it will take me a bit to see what I can do about some of them. But I sure can share my memories with you and let the photos follow in a bit. I know, wahhhhhhhh.

So I have not flown but 3 times in my life and this was to be my 4th. Yes, I was a nervous nelly to say the least. I had my bags ready to go the night before, then double checked them like crazy the next morning. Then before I knew it it was time to head out the door, hubby drove me to the airport and hung around until everything was cleared, kisses and then through security for me. It still all felt like a dream, like ok, this is happening to me. I got on my first flight and it was fun lookin out the window to see the city that I live in from the air. I was in the middle seat and will make sure I ask for aisle or window next time. Middle not too bad but if you are tired leaning on the window is rather nice. So had one plane change in Minneapolis. That is a big airport, but had fun walking around for a bit, streching the legs. Then it was on to the next part of the journey that would land me in Kentucky. I did decide that taking a pain pill right before the descent into Minneapolis was not a good idea. NOt having enough in your stomach added to the descent was not my wisest move. Kinda like I don't take the meds that help me soon enough, I keep thinking oh, it will get better. No, but I sure want to think that....ahhhh such is life. So we were almost to Louisville and they said it was 10:30pm. I am going what, I thought it was only a 2 hour difference from me. I didn't realize that part of Kentucky was in eastern time zone and the other part was in central. That threw me for a few minutes. I did see the most beautiful sunset from the skies that night thought. It was so beautiful with all the colors reigning clear out to the distance and the north star shining bright. So I landed in Kentucky still pinching myself that this was really happening. I am all bright eyes looking around, cause I am really here, the sign says welcome to Kentucky. So off to baggage I went to claim my bag with goodies for the get together. So I found my bag and sat down waiting for Janice and Dave. Then the thought hits me, I am in an airport, have never meet them in person, will I know who they are. Just as this is running through my brain, Janice and Dave show up with my first Kentucky souviner, my Kentucky purse. What a releif. They took me to a hotel, first feeding me dinner and then helping me with my bags to the room. Talk about hospitality from those two, yes, when they left it made me cry. I felt like a queen. Of coarse, I was so darn excited I couldn't sleep till after 2am. My mind was buzzing and then my body finally said, enough girl!!!!! And the first day of my adventure was done.....
and the saga shall continue....lol
