Visiting The Farm

WE began July in Louisiana, Ether Louisiana to be exact.  In December, my parents sold their home of 20 years and moved from Thibodaux, LA to a 40 acre farm in Ether, LA.  This is my first trip "home" to the new farm.  It was bittersweet for me.  I am thrilled that my parents are almost giddy in their excitement over their new adventure on the farm. I also know that home is where family is and not a particular dwelling, although many memories can be associated with a particular dwelling so for that reason, it was a little sad not going back to the same house.  

We had a great time!  The boys absoultely LOVE playing all day long at The Farm!  The only thing they didn't love was Mom and Dad's first animal, a lab named Aggie Mae. She tackled both boys to the ground the second they emerged from the car and she was on their "avoid" list the remainder of the trip.
