CabinCreek-Kentucky	Posted - Aug 21 2006 : 09:13:55 AM sent this along via e-mail to my gurlfrenz on my "Kentucky Ramblings" list .. if you'd like to be on that list .. to get the photos and all the adventures of this 'nawthern gurl moved south' .. jus' e-mail me. xo ==================== OH LORDY, GURLFRENZ .. SURE WISH I'D THUNK TO TAKE MY CAMERA WITH ME ON KATHY SUGARBUCKET'S AND MY GRANDE ADVENTURE ALL OVER OHIO AND KENTUCKY THIS PAST WEEKEND! I ROAMED UP TO BARDSTOWN A LITTLE EARLIER TO PICK UP MIZ KATHY FOR OUR TRIP TO "MARKET" IN COLUMBUS, OHIO. LOADED THAT VAN UP WITH 'TREASURES' BEFORE WE EVEN STARTED! THERE IS A SHOPPE UP THAT-A-WAY THAT SELLS THE 'BEST BOOKS' FOR THE 'BEST PRICES' .. I GOT $50. WORTH OF COOKBOOKS (THOSE YUMMY PICTURE ONES!) photo AND A BUNCHA' "FARM STUFF" .. BASKETS, AND TOOLS! HAD TO TRANSFER ALL THIS TO KATHY'S TRUCK SO WE'D HAVE LOTSA' ROOM FOR THE TREASURES WE'D FIND IN OHIO!! i use these to gather 'weeds' from the garden photo i love these olde tin buckets to use as planters. i punch holes in the bottoms of them for drainage. BEFORE EVEN HITTING THE OHIO STATE LINE, WE DID MANAGE TO VEER OFFA' THE HIGHWAY AND STOP AT OUR FAVORITE 'TRADERBAKERS' IN LA-GRANGE, KENTUCKY AND PACK THE CAR FULL!!! GOT THIS OLDE SHABBY ROCKER .. PEELY .. BUT STRONG FOR SITTIN' IN... ALSO GOT TWO CHIPPY FOOTSTOOLS!! photo AFTER DRIVING AND DRIVING AND DRIVING AND ALMOST RUNNING OUT OF GAS (A TRIP SIMPLY WOULD NOT BE A TRIP .. WITH KATHY .. IF I DIDN'T RUN THE GAS-TANK EMPTY!!) FIRST TIME WE WENT TO 'MARKET' .. WE DID, INDEED RUN OUT OF GAS ON A LONELY BACK ROAD .. AHHHHHH .. ANOTHER STORY FOR ANOTHER TIME!!! TWICE ON THIS TRIP .. THE VAN GAS-PED FOR GAS! BUT WE MANAGED TO ROLL INTO A STATION BEFORE IT STOPPED PLUMB DEAD! (O.K. .. NONE OF US ARE TO MENTION THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH TO HONEY HUNK!!!!) photo got this cute birdfeeder at "market" and ohhhhhhhh sooooooooo much more! these came in red, white and blue ... this one is barn-red sure wish i'd bought a buncha' these!!!! GOT TO COLUMBUS IN TIME TO HIT THE BED FOR A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP .. AND UP BRIGHT AND EARLY THE NEXT DAY .. IT'S FUNNY, CUZ' WE BOTH SAID WE WEREN'T GOING TO REALLY 'BUY MUCH' ... BUT SOON'S THEY DROPPED THAT ROPE AND LET ALL 6,000 FRENZIED WOMEN INTO THE SHOWROOM ... WE FOUND OURSELVES ROLLING OUR CARTS UP OVER THE BACKS OF 5,998 WOMEN TO GET IN FRONT OF THE LINE!!! GOT SEVERAL 'HOOKED' RUGS!!! photos MADE SEVERAL TRIPS BACK TO THE CAR TO UNLOAD OUR GOODIES .. AND A 'NORMAL' PERSON (OR A 'MERE MAN' WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THERE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ROOM IN THERE FOR A SNEEZE OR A FART ... (WELL .. THE MEN WOULD THINK THE FART-PART!) BUT HA! WE WOMEN KNEW BETTER! SOOOOOOO .. THAT EVENING AFTER SHOPPING TWO DIFFERENT SHOWS .. AND SPENDING MONEY THAT WE WISHED WE'D ACTUALLY HAD .. (THANK YOU "MASTER" CARD AND "MISTRESS" VISA!!!) ... WE HEADED FOR LEBANON, OHIO FOR THE NIGHT .. TO HIT THE SHOPPES ON SUNDAY MORNING. FOUND THIS AT 'MARKET' photo TOOOOOOOOOOOO CUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!!!! DISCOVERED THE MOST WONDERFULLY AWESOME HISTORIC 'INN' RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS SWEET LITTLE TOWN OF LEBANON, OHIO ... IT WAS FURNISHED IN ALL ANTIQUES ... AND EVEN HAD TWO ROOMS SET ASIDE THAT YOU COULD PEER INTO FILLED WITH 'SHAKER' FURNITURE AND FURNISHINGS! HAD A DELICIOUS DINNER AT THE INN. IT WAS A HOOT .. CUZ' THE MAITRE DE (YOU KNOW .. THE DUDE WHO TAKES YOUR NAME AND SEATS YOU!) .. WHO ALSO HAPPENED TO BE THE 'HEAD BARTENDER' .. SUGGESTED WE GO TO THE 'TAVERN ROOM' IN THE BACK BECAUSE OF THE GREAT LIVE MUSIC. HE ASKED OUR NAME .. AND RATHER THAN HAVE HIM TRY AND SPELL AND PRONOUNCE 'MESHORER' .. (I SAID IT TO HIM WITH A 'FRENCH' ACCENT .. THEN WE JUST STARED AT HIM FOR A MOMENT .. HE THEN ASKED FOR THE 'UNSEXY' LAST NAME ... WE STARED AGAIN AND WE GAVE HIM KATHY'S LAST NAME (ANTHONY). HE WAS SO EMBARRASSED .. THAT HE CAME BACK TO THE TAVERN AND APOLOGIZED OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR INSULTING THE 'UNSEXY' NAME .. AND TOLD THE WAITRESS .. "GIVE THESE GIRLS A FREE DRINK!" KATHY ASKED HIM IF HE WOULDN'T MIND COMING BACK AROUND DESSERT TIME AND INSULTING US AGAIN! ANOTHER GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP AND WE JUMPED UP OUTTA' BED TO HEAD TO A 'HUGE, GIGANTIC FLEA MARKET' .. WHICH WAS ABSOLUTELY THE MOST DISAPPOINTING FLEA MARKET I HAVE EVER, EVER, EVER BEEN TO! BUT WE DID MANAGE TO GET SOME PLANTS photo .............. AND TO FLASH THE OLDE CODGERS WHO WERE THERE! WE HAD STOPPED AT A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT BEFORE GOING TO THE FLEA MARKET FOR A QUICK CUPPA' COFFEE, A LITTLE SMACKEREL OF BREAKFAST .. AND A QUICK 'PEE BREAK'. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE FLEA MARKET .. A WOMAN RUSHED UP BEHIND US AND TOLD ME THAT MY .. OH GAWD YES!!! ... MY SKIRT WAS STUCK UP IN MY UNDERPANTS .. AND MY BUTT WAS EXPOSED AND I WAS GIVING HEART ATTACKS TO THE OLDE MEN!!! NOW .. I DO NOT EMBARRASS EASILY .. BUT I WAS PREPARED TO DIE AT THAT VERY MOMENT ... WHEN I LOOKED OVER AND KATHY'S BLOUSE BUTTONS HAD POPPED OPEN AT SOME POINT THAT MORNING AND SHE HAD TWO BOOBIES HANGING OUT TO COORDINATE WITH MY BUTT!!! SOOOOOOOOOOOO ... WE LEFT THE FLEA MARKET!!!!!!!! WE THOUGHT WE'D HAVE LOTSA' LUCK AT THE FLEA AND FIND LOTSA' TREASURES .. AND HEAD BACK TO LEBANON AT NOON .. HAVE LUNCH .. THEN HIT THE SHOPPES WHEN THEY OPENED AT ONE P.M. IT WAS STILL ONLY ABOUT 9:30 A.M. .. SOOOOO .. WE DECIDED TO DO ANOTHER ROAD TRIP SOMEDAY AND HEAD DIRECTLY TO LEBANON .. BUT FOR NOW WE'D 'HIT THE ROAD' AND HEAD FOR KENTUCKY! AS A WOMAN'S MIND WILL ALWAYS DO .. I WAS FIGGERING OUT WHAT GREAT PLACES WE MIGHT HIT BEFORE WE GOT HOME ... WE STILL HAD NOT GOTTEN ANY ANTIQUES IN OHIO!!! BEREA!!!! POPPED TO MIND .. AND SINCE IT WAS ONLY TWO HOURS OUT OF OUR WAY .. WE HEADED DEAD-SOUTH!!!! found this terrific olde ladder straight out of a chicken coop LOVE IT!!!! photo TALK ABOUT 'HAND-DID'!!!!!!!!!1 PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL AND BEFORE LONG WE WERE ENTERING MY MOS' FAVORITE BEREA ANTIQUES SHOPPE ... (OH LORDY! FORGIVE ME KAREN .. WHY CAN I NEVER REMEMBER THE NAME OF YOUR SHOPPE! MAYBE IT'S CUZ' I WANT TO KEEP IT FOR MYSELF!!!) WELL ... WHAT A VERY NICE SURPRIZE .. FRIEND SUE TRIBBLE .. WHO HAS THE MOS' AWESOME PRIMITIVES WAS THERE .. AND AFTER HUGS, I QUICKLY INTRODUCED HER TO KATHY AND TOLD HER TO KEEP KATHY OCCUPIED WHILE I SHOPPED AND GOT ALL THE 'GOOD STUFF' ..
