Embrace The Past And Forge A Future

---

This old gal…

Had a friend once…who moved with her husband every few years…because they loved experiencing…new towns…seemed odd…at the time…scary even…hometown gal me…having never lived or desired to live…anywhere but where she was born…but now…this Grand Adventure…60 years coming…relocated me…understands…

Each town…has a history…this old gal intrigued…by stories…buildings…by what came before…to make this place…what it is now…had a beautiful sunny day…for a couple's field trip…up the road to the Old Barn…a historic building built 100 years ago…on the then county home property…

Learned about it’s unique architecture…it’s worldly purpose…enjoyed some food truck food…a little petting zoo…and even ran into an old friend…next door at the annual Buck Skinners Rendezvous…it’s amazing…what we can learn…from history…a town’s history…a new home’s history…family history…our life history…how choices…affect outcomes…how obstacles…can prove positive…

How embracing the past…growing beyond what’s there…to forge a future…a future…filled with hope…filled with joy…filled with endless…remarkable…possibilities…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
