We touched down Wednesday...early morning, 1:30 am to be exact. Our flight was delayed due to a lightening storm. If you ever wonder if there is a God...try being 30-thousand feet in the air and watching the clouds below you billow about as streams of light explode into glorious...scary, brilliant bolts of thunder...the utter e
xcitement and shear brilliance of it will make you think.
That natural show...as cool as it was delayed the landing...so the pilot hovered over the storm for about 20 minutes then decided it was best to turn around, go to Cincinnati and re-fuel. This is Cincy...it has the coolest skyline. To the right is my mom and myself in their amazing garden. A far cry from my L.A. home...but a great escape from the hustle and bustle.
Although we were 3 hours late we were thankful that he chose the safe route, instead of plowing into the storm...but that cut into our sleeping time! 5 hours later we were up and about-preparing for the 2.5 hour drive to Lexington. Our interview was at noon on Wednesday so we left my parent's home in Ohio at 8 am...just to make sure we made it in time...but first...dad had to show me his home grown corn...it was delish.
The anchor at WKYT, Bill Bryant interviewed us for the noon segment. Great guy...super nice. The only problem with the interview was the fact that the full version of our app for kids, Bedtime Bunny Tales was not available for download. For some reason, Apple has decided to approve our lite version...but the entire book is "still in review". The first day the lite version was released it received 554 downloads...the second day more than 3-thousand downloads. It was exciting...but also kind of defeating. We generated all of this interest and folks couldn't purchase the book. Last night, Sam removed the free version. We decided there was no need to have it available if people couldn't upgrade. I think it was the right thing to do. We received three reviews, two 5 star, one 2 star...for the sole reason that she couldn't upgrade to the full version. Come on Apple!!
Anyway...the trip to Kentucky was amazing. If you've never been, put it on your bucket list. The rolling blue grass will take your breath away and the people are hospitable without being over the top sugary!
I attended Eastern Kentucky University...just 30 minutes south of Lex, so I had to take a stroll down memory lane. It holds a special place in my heart. I'll have to tell you about that later.For now...I need to prepare for a weekend of friends. About 15 college buddies will converge here in Columbus, then to my BFF's farm just south of the city. I may or may not post pics! See you next week...
