This is our vacation/summer home, picture was taken in the
spring of 2002 by the real estate agent who showed us the
house. We have a very large living room, big kitchen,
two bedrooms, a beautiful enclosed sunroom and of course a
bathroom!. It's situated on nearly one acre of
property in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania.
I've lovingly nick-named our vacation home, "The Money Pit."
Only 100 miles from our 'real' house, we spend several days
of every week here. I've been coming to this area all
of my life as my grandparents also had a summer home here.

Our little get-a-way
home is located in the beautiful mountains of Pennsylvania.
Very near to Cook Forest National Park, there are many
activities for the young and old and it's a very busy
tourist area. |

Canoeing on the
Clarion River in Cook
Forest. My family is in those two red
canoes, just returning from a trip. |

My favorite
things to do are to relax and enjoy the scenery from our own
front yard. It's not uncommon to find deer nesting
right behind the house or walking past a window along with
other types of wildlife too! |

Just this side
of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an
animal dies that has been especially close to someone here,
that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and
hills for all of our special friends so they can run and
play together. There is plenty of food, water and
sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to
health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made
whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our
dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are
happy and content, except for one small thing, they miss
someone very special, someone who was left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one
suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright
eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver.
Suddenly he breaks from the group, flying over the green
grass, faster and faster. You have been spotted, and
when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling
together for a joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again
caress the beloved head and you look once more into those
trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent
from your heart. |
