The painting comes to life.....

Today, Al and I traveled back in time, taking country roads winding through the hills all the way back to the 1960's....

My cousins and I baled hay and swam in the farm pond all summer when I was 15....it was my favorite place to be, and my favorite playmates.   We were so innocent, and life was hard work with lots of fun afterwards.

This is the view of our magical pond, the paintings that I gave to my cousin who actually got to live here...and a piece of my childhood I will treasure forever.

My best cousin friends were here again today, and we laughed and told stories about the hi-jinks we remembered...it was a very good day.
