This is the view from the front lawn and sidewalk of where I grew up in Eldred, PA. – North Main Street!

Both of my sons still live near here – my great-niece lives in the home I was raised in and my sister’s house next door is where my sister lived – now my niece lives there.

I have one niece who lives in Portville, N.Y. and most of the remaining family I grew up with are now gone.

My oldest son Troy is on the left – and my youngest son Shawn is on the right.

They both came down last summer but was a 16 to 18-hour drive!

With work and other commitments – it is hard for them to get away.

Troy builds houses from the ground up and Shawn has his own Energy Auditing and insulation business with the state government for housing for the elderly.

Shawn is a ranked nine-ball player and finished 33rd in the World competition.

The team he plays on finished first in the World competition in Las Vegas.

Troy has competed in the Easy Rider motorcycle competition.

This is my vision of Troy when he gets old! LOL

My sons family’s when they visited last summer.

Very proud of these two – if it was not so far away they would be here more often –

both still reside in NWPA in the Alleghany Mtns.

We combined two sets of children back in 1982 – her two daughters and my two sons.
