Apologies for the lack of posts of late; I've been pretty exhausted when I get home from work and just don't have the energy to think of many creative, thoughtful, or funny things to write about. Well, actually, that's not exactly true; I think of funny things quite often (there's a bathroom story that I can't wait to find time to write about!), but actually putting fingers to keyboard seems to be the limiting factor these days.
In any case, this weekend we are heading south to Kentucky. This time we are skirting Louisville in favor of the Lexington area. The youth organization that Adam volunteers for has its headquarters based down there now, and we were invited to go down with friends for the weekend to check out the new (well, actually quite old) digs. It's an old military school that was abandoned some years ago, and has been sitting, empty ever since. I believe it was built in the 1840s.
I'm most excited about going because there are supposedly several ghosts that haunt the property. Two little kids (a girl and boy), an older man and a younger woman, if I have the details correct. The former cook who used to work at the school when it was still open, has an appropriately creepy story (just in time for Halloween!): She walked into work one morning to get breakfast started for the students and staff. She believed herself to be the only person in the kitchen that morning, but soon after she arrived, a voice said, "My! You're here early!" When she swung around to identify the voice, no one was there. I Love It! Just my type of shiver-inducing creepiness! Others have heard the sounds of children laughing while running up and down the stairs, only to see no one there. While my tune might change upon an actual encounter, I can't help but feel a really macabre desire to see a ghost this weekend. I just hope I don't bring one home with us!
Have a good weekend, all, and if you should never hear from me again, well, you'll know why.
