A taste of home...

I know you're probably getting tired of hearing me say this, but lately I have been feeling a little homesick. I'm really, really hoping I can make a visit happen this year. Cross fingers! I was going through old photos and came across my pictures from one of the last times I visited beautiful Nova Scotia, Canada. Seriously, who couldn't see these pics and not miss it?
Black-Eyed-Susans. What a name for a flower!
Ah, beautiful wildflowers. One of my favorite things.
The old barn on my Grandmother's farm. Walks through the fields behind it are something I miss too! Nanny's house has always been a place that's easy to relax. Cares just seem to get left at the door here. Perhaps it's the molasses cookies that help melt the stress away!;)
Seriously, it's gorgeous there. You should visit.
There's just something about farm markets (that's right...farm markets...not called farmer's markets where I'm from) at home. And, they always serve ice-cream. Grape nut and moon mist ice cream to be exact. Does it get any better than that? I don't think it does.
I miss walking the beach with this lady (my Mom)...xoxo.
Have you heard of the famous 3 churches in Mahone Bay? They are very photographed.
Canada flags!
Such a peaceful place.
Ah, will there ever be a place as sweet as home?:)

I miss home too!! I just found out today that I can get a travel agent rate from Brisbane to LA for 300aud!! But, I still would need to buy 2 tickets for the kids. And Purdy is being too strict with the money! :) So, we're staying put. Keep an eye on VAustralia. They're doing really great fares to the US.
