Just did.  But if they are going through Kan-tucky, that may be the most dangerous part of the trip (Watch out for third cousins).

I have some good friends from Harlan. 

Don't forget about "Bloody Breathitt" County.

I think I'll take my chances in the big city.

I take it you have a good-lookin' third cousin?   

Seriously, we're not originally from here, but have lived in Kentucky for nearly 20 years now so it is home.  However, I don't even know all of my own first cousins let alone second and third cousins.  I didn't know there actually was such a thing.

Yes. You don't ever forget your WI roots. Hey?

I love Kentucky my parents moved us to Michigan when I was 10 so it was a culture shock....our lives were changed . I know all of my cousins LOL many are still in Kentucky as coal miners but the mines are closing or teachers.

I would love to have given them a hi-5 on the way UP, but, alas, I have one more week of wandering.

I lived in WI for five years as a teenager when my dad pastored there.  I also lived in WI for 4 years as my husband served as an assistant pastor in another area of the state. 

My roots are really in MI, but I've lived in KY longer than I lived in WI and almost as long as my combined years in MI, and it's where my man is....so it's now home.

patriotic,Do you have a southern accent or Michigan accent?

I have a Michigan accent with words from the south people still look at me and say what? LOL!

Waaay back in the mid 70's, when my dad retired from the Air Force and we moved to Florida, people made fun of my northern accent.  After I married my Wisconsin-born husband, his family made fun of my southern accent.  It took me years to get my in-laws to understand that "ya'll" is nothing more than plural "you".  ;D

Sherry, please don't make me answer that.  :'(

Actually, I have absolutely no idea.  My husband is from south GA originally, but when we moved to KY, many people here thought he sounded like the Kennedys from Massachusetts.  (When I first met him, he was definitely south Georgia which has a different sound than western and north GA.) 

Some folks from the north tease me as sounding more southern than my husband, but his family says we both sound like "Yankees" (minus the expletive, although while he was still alive, his dad might have used it before that word once or twice.)

Folks here in Kentucky mostly make fun of my northern accent, sometimes calling it a Yankee accent, but then Kentucky itself has many different sounds to their accents.
