We slept in a carriage house

After getting bogged down for hours in traffic near Washington, PA and trekking across most of Ohio, my college friends and I reached Piqua, (former?) home of Alex. I was moved to share this photo by one of her recent postings, which I liked a lot. In it, she questions the meaning of "home," particularly as it relates to the town where she grew up. It's amusing how my connotation of Piqua (little, cute, warmly colored) is so much simpler (and decidedly more positive) than Alex's nuanced take. But I suppose that just illustrates the difference between spending a long weekend and an entire childhood in a small, Midwestern town.
