The past revisited with new eyes

We went to the Osteen's pumpkin farm today to share a little bit of my brother and my youth with my nephews. My brother and I went to school with the Osteen kids and we used to go to their farm to pick pumpkins for Halloween growing up. Christian and Patryk had never been to the farm I suggested we go this year for them to see it. It was a zoo and we had to park pretty far away because there were so many people there. The line to purchase was so long, my mom and sister-in-law opted to skip buying a pumpkin there so we didn't stay long. The boys weren't too impressed...Well, I tried. It was nice to see the farm though, been a long time.

After hanging out at the Concord dog park, I decided to check out my old stomping grounds and let Timber run around the field at my old elementary school. I drove past my old house in Clayton...still looks the same...I sure miss it and the old neighborhood. It's been about 6 years I think since my folks sold the house and moved to Antioch.

Today Timber is 30 weeks old and about 60 pounds!
