Fall

It's finally beginning to look and feel like Fall around here. Perhaps the cooler weather today helps.

This is a photo I took on my trip to Kentucky in October. I stopped in the grand metropolis of Crab Orchard near what I guess is the city park, or the town square. There are always a few locals selling stuff at tables there, I wanted to walk Buddy, but one guy had his hound keeping an eye on things from the back of his truck and I didn't want to stir up trouble. Crab Orchard is interesting and I like stopping there before I have to get back on the interstate.

Anyway, I haven't written much about my Kentucky visit on either this blog, or my other one, Johnson Family Bible, but guess I should start putting down the information I gleaned from relatives, Neville mostly. Or it will be lost in the vagaries of my loopy handwriting. Next post.

Uncle Neville

My Uncle Neville, my father's brother.
He currently lives in Virginia Beach with his wife Betty. They had two children- Neville and Mark. And there is a granddaughter who flies helicopters and is currently stationed at Fort Knox.

If you ever want to meet him, they go back to Kentucky for a reunion in October of every year. It is a big republican, right wing discussion every time and although I would have liked to go this year, I couldn't stand the politics. The men go in one room and talk about world affairs and the women sit in the other and talk about curtains and babies.

How did I get to be the only (and lonely) liberal in my family?
