Farm life

Well very delayed but I wanted to post some pictures from my Pennsylvania trip. I am so glad that I was able to go visit the Hermine family. Its funny that they no longer live in Hermine, and their house is no longer the "Hermine House", but I still say it anyways. I think that I will always refer to the house as that. Arrowhead Villa does not hold the same feelings as the Hermine house. I have such amazing memories in that house. I wish that I could go back and visit although someone else owns it and probably does not look anything like it did. From the outside at least it doesn't. It is no longer yellow, which is the saddest part! As most childhood places that hold a special place in your heart going back and seeing it as an adult can kinda ruin those memories. Everything looks smaller, older and different.

But some how I always feel like a kid again when I go there. With all the aunt to take care of me, and making sure I don't need anything, is really wonderful. And being out on the farm away from the hustle of "city" life is so relaxing.
And the best part for me was having Taylor with me. It was amazing going on walks with Taylor to places that I have been so many times as a kid. Walking by the creek, the old barn and farm house with him and remembering the many times I went on adventures in those same places. And having Taylor sit on my lap and pretend to steer as I drove, remembering Dad let me do the exact same thing on the exact same road so many years ago.
I hope that Taylor has a place that he can look back on one day and have amazing memories like me.
