Well, the thoughts shall be short; on my 4 hours sleep, Martha Harrison and I spent 6 hours at the KY Library in Bowling Green and really accomplished a LOT. If you've never visited there, it's worth your time; the staff there is wonderful, their holdings extensive and it's always a joy to go camp out there for a few hours. On the puzzler. For all of you who are answering that this is a farm, buildings, homestead ... no. This might be an alternate definition but not what I am looking for. Quite a few of you are getting it correct, so if you sent in a guess re homestead, farm, etc .... look some more and try again!!! See you tomorrow after a little more sleep with Monroe Co newspaper tidbits.
