Memories...

In so many ways, it seems like just yesterday I was...



Standing there with my little, second cousin's arms wrapped around me.
Sobs shaking her small frame.
I look down. Long wet eyelashes framing her sad eyes.
She looks up, biting her lips to restrain the sobs.
What can I say... tears in my own eyes, I can only rest my head on hers,
squeeze tighter, and say "Aren't you glad we can look forward to the Resurrection?"
She nods. But it still hurts.

Grandpa.
What a precious example, a wonderful husband for 77 years to
my great grandmother, father, grandpa, and great grandpa.

 

 

And as he so often prayed, "...and LORD let us all be united
in Heaven, an unbroken family."
My prayer too.

All happy days with family, on this earth will end.

A visit to the mill before we leave.
 

Love and miss you  Uncle Stacey and Aunt Amy!

 

After we left we had a good cry. :(

 

Then settled down to sleep away some of the hours
of our long drive home.

 

A glimpse of our Mountains.
(not very much of mountains to speak of.)



Harvest Season.

Calves at the country fair. 

Reunion of friends.

HOME!

Emily and I slept here. It was quite comfortable as long as we
kept the door and window open.



One fun thing we got to do was four wheeling.

 

 

Beautiful.

 

Our whole family.

 

 

 

I wanted to ride through this meadow so bad.

 

 

Waiting for the slower four wheelers.

 

Of course there was the barn too.

 

Ground work. Never go without it!

 

 

Funny boy. Let me put the hat on him.

 

 

Dad and Mom.
