Home at Last

I finally made the journey from Corbin to home. I miss my house and worry about it a lot when gone, but I also was having a good time with the family and friends so I have mixed feelings about getting back.

Arriving at home, I now know the wintery disaster everyone up here has talked about. I saw my home covered in beautiful white snow. I had to go in through the front door as the driveway was blanketed. I knew I was in trouble when I stepped on the foot-thick snow... and didn't sink. Now I weigh a little over 200 lbs, so this was serious. I couldn't get my car in the drive and my driveway was a thick sheet of ice. I borrowed a heavy shovel from my neighbor and went to it. Two hours later I was covered in sweat and sore in places left unmentioned, but the drive was somewhat cleared. Here are before and after pics.



The house at 4 PM



My house much much later...

A quick drive to Skyline for dinner, a fast HOT shower to soothe aching muscles, and the emptying of the very full car, I settled in. Here is a pic of the University of Kentucky Quilt my mom made. I'm not an alumnus of the school, but most everyone in KY is a UK fan. I'm still tickled with it.

That's it for me, I'm so tired, I'm hardly keeping my eyes open. I dread work tomorrow. If I'm still sore, I may call off.

I lived in Dana Hall my freshman year (1990), then Bingham Hall for two years, and Danforth my senior year.

No kidding on the small world comment. Did you make it to homecoming this year?

nah, I haven't been back in many years. Although my best friend and her husband still live in Berea and want me to come for a visit.

You should head down sometime. I don't go every year, but this past year was my ten, so I went and had a blast.
