Oh my!  My return to the bluegrass has turned out like this:
 We came from the airport and went out to Jessa's mom's little farm house.  Then I remembered that there are amazing stars here, and I saw fireflies again too!  Then I went to Beth's house and we chatted before turning in early.  This mornin' I had a great sleep in and then went out on Owsley Fork Reservoir with Jessa and Nathan in their canoe.  Later we got a little summer storm and then returned to humidity... it sure feels good to be back!
   
 grateful list:
 -Kentucky!
 -the res (with the tiny little mountain church)
 -jessa and her mama bein' my welcome to KY committee
 -knowing that I'll see my family really soon
 -farms
 -weather that is wild (more than just raining or sunny)
 -summer (they have that around here)!
 -looking forward to hearin' from the sulans what their moves have been like
 -the vince, although I sure miss him
