We are leaving Kentucky

[doomer]

After 24 years of making Kentucky (Lexington area) our home, we are moving to our new farm south of Montgomery, Alabama.  I have loved Kentucky, especially as I love horses...bourbon, not so much.  Grandkids have a certain gravitational pull, and our four are all in Alabama, thus we had the chance, and are taking it to move closer while they are still young.

It is hard to think of leaving the great lifestyle here behind, but I will admit Mrs. doomer is ecstatic as we will live the closest to our daughter and her family.

We leave on May 25th, and I assure you Kentucky and my friends here will always be in my heart and mind.

and PS, we always have room for visitors.

All the best to you, @doomer!  Just remember, I'm sure Alabama has the Internet so be sure to sign on to BGP in order check in on us!

Best wishes. Enjoy that family!

Best wishes for a great future!! And you will still have the BGP Kentucky connection.

Luckily BGP is still the same distance away. 

Enjoy!

Lucky you doomer but as everyone else mentioned you "have" to stay here with us.

Thanks for the kind messages!  Been packing and started hauling farm equipment to the new farm 496 miles away.  I am really going to miss Kentucky, but I'll be glad when the move is over.  The last thing will be the horses, dogs and cats on May 25.   Hopefully they all make it safely.

PS:  We are 2 1/2 hours north of Ft. Walton Beach, FL and only one turn off the main drag, 331 that goes there off I-65.  Our place will be a good stopping point if anyone cares to visit!

Best of luck to you doomer!  Safe travels with the animals tomorrow.  Take care and stay safe.  Enjoy the Grands and family.

I cannot imagine moving a farm. Hopefully all has gone well

It was a lot of work:  transporter for household goods; transporter for five horses;  three round trips 500 miles each way to take trailers with equipment (tractor and implements, mowers, tools, etc.).  Then one last trip with horse trailer, four dogs, three cats.   Then, getting functional on this end.   My next move is to the urn.

Moving is terrible and moving a farm takes it to another level. Glad you survived!
