What a lovely day, Tessie. These are the kinds of days and trips that fill up and refresh our spirits. Family Life looks like a wonderful publication; I’m glad you found so many of them. ☺️
I grew up 1000 miles from where I live now, since I married. I love going to visit the places around my home town. I grew up near Pathway Publishing and Amish owned and run publishing company. They used to have a little shop attached to print shop. I would visit it occasionally. I’m sure the little book shop you went to carries books they publish. My parents both passed 3 years ago and I haven’t been back since.
When I was still fully living in PA, I lived in just outside of Ephrata, went to town there about every other day..I loved living there! Everyone is so nice. Then we moved to Holtwood ,Lancaster county..I am in levittown PA for last 6 months getting cancer treatments at Fox Chase in Philly, great cancer center!! I miss living in those areas out there, thank you for showing! It was so nice..I do miss thr thrift stores up that way ,Fla.thrift stores not so great.But I have learned to enjoy where I live, no matter where I live. Love seeing the views of countryside !!
I grew up in a 1971 mobile home. My mother sold it after my Daddy passed away. The new owners let it go down hill and it breaks my heart to see it now. I don’t go back very often. I can’t bear the heartbreak
I haven't been to my childhood home in many years and probably will not be able to, its too far away. But I sure enjoyed seeing your road trip today. You got some really good reading materials for this winter! Hope you're feeling better each day. Have a blessed evening. ❤❤❤❤😊😊
Glad you got to go home and get out a bit. Thanks for sharing. I miss that area seeing the farms and beautiful homes and towns so much. I houi can get able to go there again one day. Have a blessed day friend
You and I have a lot in common. I feel the same way. Even though I was not raised through my teen years in Ohio, I was born there, and I remember my young childhood there. We also returned there for family reunions. Love this. Thank you. I don't feel so alone now. God love you!
That Journaling book looked like a book to learn how to write penmanship lessons, either script or print. Glad you got to go to your childhood town and got to see your old house!😊❤
I understand that pull of wanting to go back to the place of your childhood memories. I'm happy for you that you got to go and had such a nice time. It sure looked like a lovely day for a drive!😊
I do the same thing Tessie. I grew up in WI in a large city. For me I drive by and memories do flood my mind and heart. The problem is that it has been sold twice after my parents moved out and the current owners really don't take care of it like my parents did. My mom and dad did take pride in their home and probably because it was built by my dad. It was a smaller Cape Cod and 6 people lived there, but oh the wonderful memories. I enjoyed your story about your relative biking down to the book store. That was so nice of Kimberly to gift you that wonderful day. It was fun for me as well.
It’s been about 4 years since I’ve been back to my hometown. I was born and raised in a small town in Arkansas but I married a California man so I have lived in California many years. I get to go back “home” every few years. The memories always flood my soul as I visit mom & dad’s graves, walk the streets, drive by familiar places and visit the schools I attended. I’m glad you got to visit your hometown and the home where you grew up. 🎶Precious memories how they linger🎶
My parents are both in their 80's and the thought of losing them and my childhood home lingers in my mind. It will be so unbelievably hard to let them go but I'm reminded by our Lord and savior Jesus Christ that he knows best and that our time apart will only be temporary. I'm crying as I write this because the inevitability of it and the preciousness of God's promise. God gave us our memories. And that is such a beautiful gift. ❤
@jaxxmariecambridge5212 Oh I didn't mean to sound like I was attacking you or anything! I know there are people that have lost their parents even earlier than me. We just have to accept that this was God's will for us. That sounds like you appreciate your parents!
@@suesmith776 Oh no no... I didn't take it that way hon. It IS a huge blessing to have had my parents this long. I'm always sad for those who've lost theirs so early. Xoxo
I live about 20 minutes from my childhood home and I love to go past my old home. I've lived 53 years in my present home where I raised my children. But my childhood home will always have a place in my heart. 😊
We were just at Ephrata for a few days at refreshing mountain retreat center. I thought of you while we were out there. I saw this bookstore as we drove by and I’m so sorry I didn’t stop. I love the family life magazine. We have Amish friends from Quarryville, who introduced us to that magazine. My other favorite is keepersof the home or keepers at home I can’t remember the exact name. Ephrata is one of my favorite places to do my thrift shopping in and just driving around is just so peaceful. So glad you had a great treasure hunt at the bookstore.
People don't talk about personal finances with others, generally. But it is seen grouped up in financial data. People are really fairly poor, although they also tend to spend a lot on desires too resulting in little to show for it😅 You being out of debt with assets and savings makes you wealthier than a very large percentage of the population. Truly blessed in that regard, keep doing what you're doing because it's working!
Beautiful opening and words!! I am glad you got to take a day and just go home and enjoy! ❤ Very sweet. It does make a beautiful community and makes us stronger.
Tessie, I Think We All Have Times In Our Lives When We Have A Longing For The Past. I Believe It's A Need For A Feeling Of Comfort And Safety And For The Child In Us To Be Told ' EVERYTHING WILL BE OK'. Those Memories-- Tell Us That Dear Friend, And Everything WILL Be Ok🤗. GOD Has Got This Tessie, Bless You, Andrea
Love your Videos. Ty for sharing. Love your Road Trips and also the Shopping Trips. I love the state of Pennsylvania. I live in North Florida. Not far from the Florida Georgia State Line. We still have some warm weather here and there. If you also could keep me and my family in your prayers. I really would appreciate it. Ty so much. :)
Hey sweetie. Have you ever heard of moringa oleifera. The tree of life. All parts of the tree for medicinal. I know you are into that so I wanted to ask.
My mom passed a couple years back. We moved 6 times so there isn't any special memories connected to any of them. 12 moves as a wife in 50 years. I really miss the area i grew up! I'm not able to travel and pretty much a shut in at this point in my life. I wish i could make one more trip home.
My Childhood home is in Central PA and I now own it, however Ive been living in Texas for over 35 years now. Hard to manage it from down here. lately I’ve been thinking.. hmmm maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to see if I could go back and fix it up. I work remotely so it is possible. Would be nice to live mortgage and rent free.tonsave for retirement
It’s nice to go home. Once your parents are gone it feels like the heart is missing. I am not able to go home to see my siblings very often. That’s the downside of moving away
Thanks for sharing your day😊...be blessed
I still long for the simpler days gone by ❤
This was a very sweet video. I'm glad you got to go home for a visit!❤❤❤

The scenery is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Maybe Chevy Man would be willing to drive by his childhood home sometime?
Praying for u. Get well soon.
What a blessing to be able to go home and reminisce. Thank you for sharing your books very nice too!

Hi Tessie. Thank you for sharing your travels. ❤
I'm glad you got to go home Tessie. Thank you for sharing. Prayers for your quick recovery.😊❤
Hi Tessie, I am happy you got to go home today. ❤ Nothing like reminiscing of days gone by.
I love going home went there yesterday but to my brothers celebration of life not the best reason to go home

Tessie I'm thankful hubby took you back to your roots.❤ I too long for that...but unfortunately those day's are over for me too. ❤
I’m thankful I got to get a glimpse of your background. Hope you’re healing well. Thinking of you. A+ ❤️🩹

I'm so glad you got to go home for a visit! There is nothing like being in the place where you grew from a child to a woman!
Beautiful scenery. Home sweet home. You are set for reading for awhile. I’m glad you had a great day. Have a great evening everyone!
Hello Julie😊,
Tessie's Journey Was Beautiful Wasn't It! Hope That You Have A Great Evening My Friend,
Blessings, Andrea
Both of your homes are very pretty Tessie. I'm happy you got to go back and reminisce.
Tessie glad you had a good visit.
Enjoyed the drive. Never can have enough reading material. Thanks for the video.

You are blessed.I lost my dad at twenty-three and my mom at forty-four.

Does Kenny ever want to go back to where he grew up, or visit his family or area?
I also drive by my Dads old farm when I am in that area.
