Life in Christian County, Kentucky...
Dennis and I went to the Christmas parade in Hopkinsville this morning. When we arrived, a few people were gathering on the sunny side of the street. It didn't look like there was going to be much of a crowd, but at the last minute, a lot of people showed up. The attendance was down a little because it was cold -- about 35°.
It was a "Small Town, USA," Christmas parade. I enjoyed it.
The links below lead to photos. If you see someone you know and you want a copy of the photo, I'll send you a high resolution copy that you can make good reprints from. Just let me know.

It is a nice town. It has its problems as all towns do, but it's a good place to live.
