Calling all Kentucky Ladies

smalltown, IL

Good Morning on this cool midwest spring day..It's cloudy and about 53 here in the midwest..I am going through a very rough divorce and would like to move to Ky..My friend has offered to let me come stay with her until I get back on my feet which I will be looking for a job... And it would give me a new place to start over.
She lives in the Campbellsville,KY area.
But I'd like to hear from you about the area you are in..
Here are a few things I enjoy doing ..Camping,birdwatching,gardening(still a brown thrumb) and just simple life..
I enjoy going to yard sale flea markets and antique shops(which I know nothing about.Just like the old smells and looks).
I enjoy Amish areas and supporting local Farms and Upick's farms and farmstands.
Thank you for your time and help.

Hello Chinook,
How nice that you are considering Kentucky. I grew up in southeast Kentucky, not too far from Campbellsville, and it is a beautiful area. Though I still have relatives there and return for visits, I live now in far west Kentucky.

I'll tell you more about the area if you would like, but here are answers to your questions:

Google Land Between the Lakes. I live about 4 miles from the northern entrance, miles and miles of noncommercial land located between Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley. And abundance of camping and birdwatching available there. And of course, there is the beauty of both lakes.

Google Paducah, KY and you will see the area is full of antique shops as well.

Our Amish community is in Marion, which is in nearby Crittendon County. I love them too.

My little town is only about 2000 people, and I love it here. We are about 100 miles northwest of Nashville, about 200 miles west of Louisville, and maybe about that same distance south of St. Louis. There is also Carbondale just across the river from us.

I have thought about returning to the area where I grew up, but I like my home here and I love the lakes area. If you want more info, then let me know.

Good luck in your search.
