And We're Off!

Today Normy, Georgie, and I are flying to my ancestral home of Ripley, NY. I am jubilantly happy to be headed to one of a few places I truly call home. I can't wait to introduce Georgie to her Great Grandparents and Great Aunts and Uncles... as well as Aunt Kate, Aunt Sara, Uncle Ryan, and cousin Trenton. 

Though I will be able to get on line with my trusty iPhone I probably won't much. I am envisioning this trip as something as a retreat. I want to disconnect from my busy life, return to my roots; do some soul searching; and rekindle of my inner flame. Sound a little hoaky? Oh well. It's the truth. I plan on taking Normy out in to the fields and down to the crick where my siblings, cousins, and I used to play "Little House on the Prairie." I want to drink my morning coffee on the deck of my grandparents house and enjoy the view of Lake Erie on the horizon without thinking about my to-do list. 

Ooops... I've got to go.  Like now. Here's a few pictures for the road.
