Elvis sure knew what he was singing about when he sang about "Kentucky Rain." It was a pretty nice day yesterday, but today, rain all day but the good news is that when this cold front moves through this afternoon or tonight there is a chance it will turn to snow. I would love for it to snow. It has been a long time since we have had snow.

Your gran must have been of Scot or English descent, or just picked it up in the mountains....I also have heard my elderly neighbor from the Corbin area call them Haints, like Saints....
Kathy, you crack me up!!! I'm sure hoping it's too icy and cold for ghosts at Shakertown this weekend

I remember my grandma telling us ghost stories almost every night. We loved hearing them. She was always talking about "hants".

Oh yeah, I got rid of him, but I have thought a hundred times how I wished I had kept that house. But I am one of those people who see angels in cemeteries, hear footsteps going up and down steps, not psychic, just a little too tuned in at times, so I am a definite believer in ghosts and angels sitting on your shoulder. I really do hope mine looks like Nicholas Cage or maybe Brad Pitt or even better, ELVIS.

I love ghost stories. We lived in this house one time that was as haunted as it could be. Now honest truth, whoever haunted this house never did bother my three kids, and he or she didn't bother me either, but that spirit tormented my husband, ex now. I didn't know it at the time but he was having one of his many extramarital affairs and apparently the ghost knew it. It was a wonderful old farmhouse and I didn't realize until later why he was so insistent on moving out of there. I have wished many times I had stayed, even though it was a drafty place in the winter.

We always rent the Old Ministry Shop, and around my birthday one year (October) it was particularly blustery and the wind was whipping down through the fireplace and making the old house creak and groan. I could NOT get to sleep and I was just totally freaked out...and THEN my husband started talking in his sleep about "go get the gun...I mean it, go and get the gun...." I jumped up out that bed quicker than I've EVER gotten started and I ran downstairs and turned on the tv to get "back to reality"....Luckily, that hasn't happened since.
We stay at the Old Ministry shop usually about 3 times a year, autumn through mid winter.

i stayed at one of the women's buildings a coupla' years ago .. and i SWEAR .. we were visited by GHOSTS!!! I WOKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WITH BLINDING LIGHTS FLICKING ON IN OUR ROOM!
last year when i returned with a bunch of gurlfrenz who were visiting from maryland .. i took them there .. we were on a tour .. and the driver told us about a GHOST who flicks the lights on in that same building!!
We make sure to visit two or three times a year.
and .. kathy .. i love the South Union Shakertown too. we've stayed at the historic inn there twice .. it was great! South Union is smaller .. but filled with wonderful antiques .. a really nice museum.
It was VERY rainy and blowy last night .. i loved listening to the rain sounds as it pelted on the tin roof and the winds as they blew around the cabins. Today was a combination of sunny and shady. a lovely winter day. xo

Yep, there surely is They have central air and heating as well. It's truly my favorite thing to do, Kathy, and now it looks like it may snow!!

That is absolutely breathtaking. Be sure to let me know how it went. Now this is my modern age kicking in, is there a back up heating plan in case it gets really, really cold there.

You should do it, Kathy! Here is the one we rent...
It has a fireplace on one whole side wall and we just park our bottoms and warm up!!! Well, in between eating at Aunt Gravy's!
I'd love to get to the South Union settlement sometime, too....See, there's another place all the Kentucky girls can meet up!!!

I have always wanted to go to Pleasant Hill. I live about 10 miles from the South Union Shaker settlement. But I think the one in Pleasant Hill has a lot more of the buildings left that the one here does. That sounds like so much fun renting that house and all. Have a good one.

I hear you, Kathy. It's pretty dreary here today, and it does give me the blues. I wish it would snow a good one up here, also! We've just had terrible cold weather and flurries. Pretty, but doesn't do much for the soul :)
We're heading to Pleasant Hill (Shakertown) over the weekend and I'm hoping that it's cold enough to use the fireplace in the 1812 house we rent!!! For us, that's what it's all about!!!!
