Day 9 – Kentucky, Ohio, Kentucky, Ohio, to Indiana

Today was planned as a travel day from Morehead, where we spent the weekend with Cathy and Harry, to Lafayette, where we lived while I was working at Purdue in 2001-2002.

Day 8 – Kentucky exploration

Our first experience with Cathy and Harry Gunn was in 1998 when I met Cathy at SITE in Washington DC and, knowing that she worked at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, asked for advice about seeing the Grand Canyon when Majella and I would be in the USA later that year. Soon after I arrived home from SITE I had...

Kentucky friends

We spent the weekend with friends, Cathy and Harry Gunn, in Morehead, Kentucky, where Cathy is the Dean of Education. She and Harry showed us great hospitality and we saw some of the treasures of this part of the country – the amazing horse studs and parks, and the Woodland Reserve Bourbon Distillery. Cathy and Harry are planning to visit...

When I planned it on Google Maps the estimate was about 4 hours from Johnson City to Morehead via Big Stone Gap. At one time I even considered Big Stone Gap as our overnight stop but that might have...

Each Monday night has been filled with music, harmony and lots of hugging with this...

Boots, buckles and cowboy hats!

We have just arrived home in West Lafayette after two weeks on the road. We drove straight from Nashville to home in 6 hours – a bit amazing considering it took us 6 days driving to get there. When we told people at the conference the way we got there, they all wanted to know who sold us the map!!

My Old Kentucky Home away from home

Christmas draws ever nearer, and I have now collected and installed my Christmas tree. Hannah rang us the other day telling us about her beautiful Christmas tree. She sent the photo on the right so we could see for ourselves just how she decorated it. She is having an early Christmas celebration for all the grandparents and the Bathams next...
