My First Blog

Well boy howdy! I’m having a time here finding my way around… and according to WordPress, Im only 38 % done perfecting my masterpiece here.

Where’s my manners? Please allow me to introduce myself. You can call me Celes. It’s an alias, of course. But I’m sure you can accept that.

I am a mother, first and foremost. I have 5 youngins, all grown up and out of the nest. Let’s count em’… 3 sons and 2 daughters in that order.

Then, I’m a mamaw of 7 grandbabies. I’ve got 5 grandsons and 2 granddaughters. But, one grandson has called me “nan nan” since he started talking and there is no changing his mind. (He’s 4 yrs old) He has been seen correcting the other grandbabies what my name is as well…”No, no, NOT MAMAW, it’s NAN NAN!” he said~☆

And…finally, I am wife to a Kentucky man. Let’s call him Chucky. Since he is a lover of those Chucky horror movies, seems fitting his alias should be “Chucky”, lol.

So there is my vague introduction…not many details, but enough to get started with.

Adjusting to Kentucky

It’s no secret…I’ve moved to Kentucky from Iowa. I have been here since 1983. Big adjustment….!!

I was labeled “foreigner” right away. The Kentucky folk shied away from me. I was sooo lonely. I couldn’t figure it out, until a year later. My neighbor, and my only friend at that time, informed me about the “foreigner” thing.

I talked too fast, they said. I didn’t dress like a kentuckian, either. Hmm…so I experimented. I slowed down how I spoke. I paraphrased what I just said. Then I repeated it several times many different ways.

Presto! I MADE FRIENDS. yea~☆ It’s been the best experiment ever. I quit wearing high heels. I down played what I wore in clothing. NO BIG WORDS….threw in some Ky. slang….I tell you what…instant success!

When you walk into a different dimension, you have to do what you gotta do. Just sayin’
