Sleeping in History – Beaumont Inn
Blog: Ottsworld - 18 May 2010
Harrodsburg Kentucky may be small, but it’s loaded with character. In fact, it lays claim to being the ‘Oldest Town in Kentucky’. Their tourist board (yes, this little town of 8,000 people has it’s own tourist board) describes Harrodsburg as ‘bursting with historic charm’. They are absolutely right. The town itself has self-guided [...]

Shakin’ it up in Kentucky
Blog: Ottsworld - 13 May 2010
Back when I had furniture and lived a normal life working 9 to 5 everyday, I had an affinity to Shaker style furniture. My dining room set, as well as a number of little tables, were the shaker style; the simplicity and lines were always appealing to me. So when we had a [...]

Play Ball!
Blog: Ottsworld - 6 May 2010

Mad Hatters – The Kentucky Derby
Blog: Ottsworld - 4 May 2010
Where am I? From a fashion perspective, it looks like Park Ave., but there are no sky scrapers. A vendor walks by with 3 dozen mint juleps in his ‘Ice Box’ crate; I smell an odor of horses and cigars. For one brief day, this town is the queen of the [...]

The Shaker Plea – Please Don’t Remember Me As A Chair
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 23 August 2009
Lil stood with eyes lowered and hands demurely clasped as spectators filed into the Meeting House. When everyone was seated on the simple wooden benches running down either side of the hall, she looked up and began to sing: "Welcome, welcome, one and all."

Blog: Tales from Technomadia - 31 July 2009
Time Period: June 30 – July 29 Miles Driven: 1904 We had no plans for how to spend the summer. We had toyed with the idea of finding a nice campground in the Smokey Mountains and parking for several weeks to catch up on some work projects. We had toyed with ducking into Canada and getting [...]
