Obstacles

Obstacles.
We all have them.
We all will get more of them.
Some we love.
Some we hate.
How do you handle yours?

Hope and Remembrance - World Trade Center 9/11

Rebuilding at Ground Zero in New York City - 2011


Spending a weekend in NYC we were fortunate to stay at the Millennium Hotel across the street from Ground Zero and beside St. Paul's Cathedral.  Before we left our room it was raining and seemed fitting when looking out our window at the construction for the new memorial.  How sad it is remembering the events of that day.  As with all things good and bad time marches on and out of the devastation there is Hope in the rebuilding and the making of a fitting memorial.

Round Barn - Gettysburg, PA

The Round Barn farm market located near Gettysburg, PA has some good ole country offerings.  
The address is really Biglerville, PA but some may even point out it's really Cashtown, PA.
Of course Gettysburg has the most notarity but regardless it's worth a little side trip to stop
and see what they have to offer throughout the year.  Peaches, Plums, Apples, Tomatoes,
Green Peppers.  You name it and it's on their shelves.  That's just the beginning.
You can hold your wedding reception here pet some amazing donkeys or goats and purchase
some beautiful flowers or honey.  
A great song comes to mind...
--Green acres is the place for me. 
Farm livin' is the life for me.
