I'm so excited ....

... here is the cover proof of the book "Images of America: Harrodsburg" which Anna Armstrong and I are writing ....



What do you think! Personally, I LOVE it, but I'm a little prejudice.

Creature of Habit

I consider myself a creature of habit - some people may say I'm just stuck in my ways. However you want to phrase it, I have a tendency to do things the same way every time I do them.

This morning, on the spur of the moment, I took a different route to work. This may not seem like a big deal to some, considering I only drive 5 miles to work, but this morning I felt like a rebel.



Instead of driving up Main Street, I came in through a side street. Because our courthouse is currently being rebuilt (don't get me on a rant about the evils of tearing down the historic courthouse!), there is a wide open view of the upper portion of Main Street. Harrodsburg has a beautiful Main Street! The view from College Street to East Office Street on up to Main Street give a panoramic view of the Kentucky Fudge Company - one of my favorite places to eat - Studio G, Whitaker Bank and several others.

Fascinating what you can see when you break out of a rut.

Now, wonder what "habit" I'll break tomorrow??

Christmas Parade

Harrodsburg had its annual Christmas Parade last night - "Home for the Holidays" was this year's theme. I don't have any pictures because it was tooooooo cold last night to even hold a camera! For a hot-natured person like me to say it was too cold, believe me, it was cold - 25 degrees cold with a chilling wind to go with it!

As a matter of fact, if it weren't for the fact my daughter was marching with the Mercer Public Library, I wouldn't have been there at all! Every year the Library participates with the Bookmobile to generate awareness of the Library. This year was very important because the Library will be remodeling in 2009.
