Blogs by Joyce E Bowling Sunday Morning in the Mountains... 6/28/2009 7:42:36 AMIt's a beautiful and blessed Sunday morning in the mountains of Kentucky. I've just returned from my weekend vacation with my sister. We spent the weekend at Shaker Village in Pleasant Hill Kentucky. It was a beautiful old restored Shaker's Village on nearly three thousand acres. We stayed in the " haunted Inn " can't say we saw or heard a ghost of any kind, but it was a beautiful Inn. The food was exceptional and all the vegetables were grown on their farm. It was a wonderful learning experience of a culture that once thrived in eight different states, but eventually faded away due to lack of converts and their belief in celibacy. The original Shaker dwelling houses have been restored and were wonderful to tour. All dwellings and the Inn had two identical staircases one for the males, and one for the females. The Inn we stayed in had beautiful spiral staircases. We walked the graveled roads and cobble stone pathways for two days enjoying each of the unique dwelling houses, the sister's house where the weaved, spinned, and sewed. The bretherens house where they made brooms, oval boxes, and the coopers house where they made wooden buckets. There was plenty of livestock ranging from chickens, goats, cows, to steers horses ducks, and geese...all of which was very tame. We took a tour of the entire grounds by horse and wagon, there were some breathtaking views of the land. Finally to wrap the weekend up we took an hour trip down the Kentucky river on the Dixie Belle an old steam boat that remains active today for the sole purpose of tours. It was fun, a bit scary as the river was raised and very muddy from all the rain...but nevertheless an eventful ride. My sister and I sat with an elderly couple aboard the boat and they had some awesome stories to tell. I was inspired by one of them for a poem that I will try to complete and post later in the week. Anyway, it was a great little vacation...but it's great to be home. Just a few thoughts on this blessed Sunday afternoon....
