this weekend

I was delighted: to take a trip home
I was saddened: to see the mountains blown apart at the lake where I learned to swim
I was ecstatic: when the rain fell from the sky
I was happy: to catch up with my brother and sis-in-law and the other fabulous people of Whitesburg.
I was mesmerized: by the sounds of Charlie Louvin
I was sleepy: and tried to sneak away and get to bed at 1:00 in the morning only to be pulled out of bed to listen to more old time music on the front porch
I was thankful: that there were no "strangers"...but friends to be made
I was reminded: of how good it is to be in eastern KY

How nice...to listen to old time music on a porch. I sometimes really miss KY. I love reading your posts about the place I grew up
