Along the Way- the beginning

So much life and history and story

 is wrapped up in this one photo.

The Ditch bank.

The Mulberry tree.

 The metal bridge.

How do I begin to capture the memories that 

flit and dance and come and go?

Well- perhaps that will happen right here.

In the seasons of the year.

Some with accurate facts.

Some illuminated.

Though my memory knows it is changed
 in view from this photo-

this will be the fertile soil of story.

 Part real.

Part imagined.

For the sake of the growing

 generation of grands.

Griffin.

Levi.

Jack.

Gordon.

Isaiah.

Charlie.
 For the grands yet to be born.
And for the assorted cousins 
and extended family.

A place where you can always 

come back to be restored 

and renewed

 and filled with hope.

And to hear the words-

"Good idea! Good idea!"

May imagination foster 

the next story and grand adventure.

Love,

  Gigi
