The Hillbilly in Me

kybearfuzzHad a good day here in green ol'Kentucky. Started late today, sleeping in was a main priority. Went to lunch with my buddy, did some shopping, chatted with my mom and sis, went fourwheeling with my brother-in-law, and just goofing off sort of things. Typical things really.
After seeing the scenery in Europe, it suddenly dawned on me how much I take the routine scenery around me for granted. My brother-in-law took me fourwheeling earlier this evening. I hadn't done that in a long time. When we reached the top of the largest hill where his dad's property is, we hit this plateau where his brother is building a house and I was blown away. You could see the whole valley (called a "holler" in my parts. Holler = hollow). It was breathtaking. I really wished I had taken my camera with me.
After that, I decided to make that my goal this week. To treat my small country town as though I was a tourist who had never seen it before. I'm going to hit the local sights, take photos, and see the area like some many locals never do. I'm guessing I'll start tomorrow. After a nice long sleep....
