Time Traveler

Sometimes, I think I was meant to live in another time and place. One where technology was an unknown term, conversations were the most desirable from of entertainment, and being cordial was as essential as breathing.  A place where brick, stone, lush grass and moss provided the perfect scenic backdrop for your travels on any given day.

I was able to step back in time for three extraordinary days...






































Family weekend at my son's college... 

It was a beautiful moment in time.

    Charm and more charm. And, how sweet to be at his college. Different phase, different place. Same love.

    Don't you just love visiting there! Did you get bread ends from the cheese shop?! Oh, I'm so jealous.

    P.S. Our daughter graduated from there too!

    Makes me want to go back to school. What a beautiful campus. The architecture is amazing. I love the moss on the roof and all the cobblestone and brick. Just beautiful.

    Did I ever tell you
    that I almost went there?
    The romantic in me is
    also drawn to the past....
    What a wonderful place
    to learn, study and grow!
    Bet you had such a wonderful
    time seeing your son and
    being together : )

    I almost went there myself but ended up at W&L which is equally as idyllic (to me). I sometimes dream of going back and becoming a finance professor. Or maybe convincing my hubby to become a professor and let me just enjoy the slower pace of life with my kiddos! Not going to happen but I do dream...
