I took today to show my boys where I grew up. Both houses, the elementary school, the farm where my dad made a living. I don't think they were very impressed. But to them we just saw houses and places. To me it was so much more.
We also made a stop at the cemetery where their great-grandparents are buried. As I made the trip up here, I realized that the last time I was in town was when my nana died. That's been 3 years next week. I've never been away from here for that long when I lived in this hemisphere.
We start the reunion festivities tonight. Dinner and a gathering at the town clubhouse. I'm interested to see who all has made the effort to show up.
