More in the Land of Linn

As I have said many times I love history and historical buildings;
I especially love it when our family has ancestral connections there.

I think of what this beautiful land looked like then--

when the rivers ran free

and the towns were smaller.

I imagine them crossing bridges, like this one, on their way into town from their farm.

I wonder if they looked up, like me, and admired the beams and structure of the bridge's ceiling.

A part of me longs to have lived here when they did--

when the rivers ran free

and the towns were smaller.

I wonder what it would be like to have grown up here then.

Time to find out.

Next: a trip back in time...

Blessings,

Aimee
