What a wonderful treasure - a moment - and a lifetime - captured in time. As I posted a month or so back, I was able to "go home" to our homestead as well and take my mother - and know first-hand those feelings of looking out the window to the yard I knew as a child....Poignant, bittersweet - but, above all, a blessing - then and now.....Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
So wonderful to have such a treasured memory!! That made me think of my Grandpa as well. I can see him heading out to the barn to feed the cats with them all lined up behind him also. Thanks for sharing and triggering a memory for me also!!

Nothing's like going home.......,,,,,.
Isn't amazing how much we miss them when they are gone? I to feel that way when I think of mine (laughing and crying at the same time). Your post made me cry too.

How wonderful to return to a place that meant so much to you and to see that it was all it could be and more. The memories and feelings must have been so sweet. I am happy you have photos and lovely feelings for the past. -Steph-
