The other day I was browsing through my Mom's pictures and came across these from July of 2003. My Great Grandparents celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary at the farm, I could only be so lucky to do the same with Josh.
The lovebirds :)

We spent the Fourth of July in Steeleville, IL at my OTHER Great Grandma's house. As tradition would have it, we spent the morning at the parade gathering candy and drank a TON of lemon shake-ups!
Me & Shay at the parade.
Grandpa & Grandma
Great Grandma Lily
The women in the kitchen, always meant a good meal :)
We spent a good deal of time on the farm the rest of our stay - there was always so much to do to keep us kids occupied. Oh how I'm going to miss that place!
The cows in their pasture.
Taking a ride down a dirt road...
Going for a bike ride.

Great Grandpa & Me on his favorite swing.
Great Grandpa's shoes - I just love this picture!
The infamous outhouse!
These pictures will never replace the feeling of being there, yet they bring back so many wonderful memories of all the time spent with those I've loved and lost.
