Your family is around, excited and celebrating the day. – Imagine over 45 years later, your kids continue to go back to the same property to visit your brother. All the family from the area come to the farm to eat meals together and retell family stories. – Your grandkids are there running around the barn and swimming in the pond. – So much happiness. So much joy. – – This old red barn is slowly deteriorating. It's getting so bad that it's no longer safe to go inside. I guess my parents can only glance in from the outside to see themselves standing there, decked out in their wedding attire and bare feet. From the outside they can look in and see family with smiles on their faces. From the outside they can see where the last 45 years started. – But then they can walk into one of many other houses on the property and find many of those same people engaged in fun conversation. They can find nephews and nieces playing games with their kids. They can see their grandkids enjoying the same earth that they have. They can can add many new layers of memories that just sit there under the surface of the earth, exuding joy and warm. – This big red barn may not be in the same shape it was back in the 70s, but there are so many other things thriving… – What a great place to vacation!
