Wow! The light here is so beautiful ❤️

To me, it seems like stocking up before a hurricane is a little more legitimate than panic buying before a snow storm.

Are frozen chicken tenders a popular panic buying item, like they seem to be in Cincinnati? 😂

Thanks!

Beautiful! It reminds me of some of the amazing sunsets I saw up on Lake Superior

I was in AmeriCorps back in college. This administration doesn’t understand anything but a financial balance sheet. The find no value in anything but money and power. Compassion, service, & beauty are meaningless to these hollow shells of human beings. 😔

😂 It shows the difference between reflexive panic buying & actual preparation. I am currently spending a few months in a very rural area of Kentucky. There aren’t many plow trucks in rural roads & if you live off a dirt road, you’re on your own. People here stocked up on propane.

I think that’s a very good possibility. What a wonderful thing the CCC was! I wish our leaders would have the vision for something like this today.

A hike in Daniel Boone National Forest
Wolfe County, Kentucky

Wondering how long it took to carve those stairs

I’m sure it was. The funny thing is, this is a suburb of a decent sized city. The longest it takes to plow the roads, even for a big storm, is a day or two. People panic buy like they’re pioneers out on the prairie who will have to survive until the spring thaw. 🙂🙃

The bread isle and frozen food section at a Cincinnati, Ohio, grocery before the last big snow storm. Apparently everyone was planning to survive on chicken nuggets & sandwiches. Is the crazed grocery run just a Midwest thing?

It’s wonderful that you are doing that!

It is a beautiful place. The first photo is of the Grand Hotel. The island is famous for having no motorized vehicles (other than emergency vehicles) permitted on the island.

All of Mackinac Island, Michigan, appears frozen in time.

I always wanted to get out of Kentucky when I was growing up and go somewhere “exciting”. Now my husband and I are living in an RV and could travel anywhere and I find myself in Kentucky. We’re staying near Red River Gorge. It’s a beautiful place if you ever make that trip back

Hiked out to another one today

After reading all the restaurant stories around the #thecampfire this morning. I ended up heading out to breakfast. There aren’t a ton of restaurant options in little Beattyville, KY, but we do have Herman’s Brew.

😂

There were a lot of tales of food and restaurants around #thecampfire yesterday. I’m reading the stories with my coffee. It’s all making me very hungry 😆

Wow! It’s wild that he thought you looked familiar. Maybe you knew each other in a past life

I missed #thecampfire entirely yesterday, so I’m sitting out here in front of the coals with my morning coffee…and now I’m hungry

The popularity of #thecampfire proves it!

You’re making me tear up over my morning coffee. What a beautiful tribute to your sister! And what role models of strong, independent compassionate woman you both are.

We’re all such terrible liars 😂

I relate to all of this, except for us it was Perkin’s.

As a Kentucky girl, this post brings back so many memories. I was always so jealous of my neighbors when the Schwan’s truck would arrive. My very frugal mother would never pay for such luxuries. 😆 West Virginia is a beautiful state. Maybe a close 2nd to Kentucky 😉

Fantastic photo! I love looking at my family’s old family photos. As far as pretending to be something your not, for the next #thecampfire maybe I’ll tell the story of the time I let someone talk me into telling people we were accomplished horseback riders. We were absolutely not. 🤦‍♀️
