Possum Hollow, Kentucky

I know a gal named Dana from Possum Hollow, Kentucky.
She's headed back to the Holler for the Holidays.
I thought her story would make a good one and she was happy to tell me all about the Holler...

Her family runs a cattle ranch and they live in a farm house with a wrap-a-round porch.
From May to August it's hot and humid.
She loves the smell of honeysuckle and the song of the whippoorwill.
She loves dogs!
Her family does have horses.
Kentucky is green with lots of trees and it's very rural.
She has a charming accent.

Dana loves her home and loves to talk about it.

The title of the story would be simply:

"Possum Hollow" or "Otter Hollow" (or something like that)

It would be about a woman returning to the Holler she calls home after years of being away. She faces some dilemmas,solves them, and finds unexpected love... all in the Holler.The story would be loosely based on Dana story. (obviously).

Thank You Dana for telling me all about the Holler.

The American Children's Christmas Festival 08

On a whim Mom and I went to The American Children's Christmas Festival's parade on Main Street and it was lots of fun. The weather was perfect for a parade in December and there were plenty of folks out to enjoy the occasion.
