It’s hard to believe that 2 months have passed since moving home from Pennsylvania. In some ways, it feels like the blink of an eye… in others, as though years have passed. I am feeling a bit reminiscent today so I thought I’d share some of the wonderful things that I already miss from that beautiful, enchanting part of the country.

Mild summers…

sponge candy…


beer culture… pirogues… gorgeous waterways…

ancient trees…

Perry’s ice cream… Conneaut Lake…

Hank’s frozen custard… abundant nature trails…

beautiful bridges…

local wineries…

Lake Erie during any season…

groundhogs (really?)… one day of snow…

maybe two…

playing Euchre with these friends…

old train tunnels…

flowers for miles…

amazing parks and historic sites…

the fish in Linesville…

no… I won’t miss them.

**shivers**

I have been so richly blessed by the opportunity to live in a part of the country that is so different from where I’ve spent most of my life. While it feels good to be “home,” northwestern Pennsylvania will always feel like a close second.
