FAMILY. Where we come from, what defines us, sometimes we are proud, sometimes not so much. I live in my grandparents 100 year old farmhouse, the real deal. They had sheep, pigs, cows, chickens, goats and a team of horses to pull the buggy and hay wagon. Watermelons and milk and eggs were lowered into a cistern in the front yard to cool. My mom and her brother really did walk 2 miles to school, weather never taken into account. I look at these old pictures and wish I were there too sometimes! We talk about simplifying but compared to life then, it's not going to happen.

Gotta go, more later................
