Family Traditions

For many decades my Pap, Dad, and Uncle have made the annual pilgrimage up to Lehman Brothers Farm in Berlin, Somerset County, PA to get the highest quality cabbage in the country.   This cabbage is dense like a bowling ball and is the secret to the high quality sauerkraut we make each fall.  

This picture of my Pap, at age 92, is one of my all time favorites.  I get lost thinking of my Pap's entire life experiences in this one picture.  For me, it's so deep.  

We took the kids up to the farm and got a very similar picture.   Similar to the picture of my Pap, I get lost staring into the eyes of these kids .   I feel like I am staring directly into the history and generations of our family.  Without my Pap and Dad now, these kids gives me so much happiness knowing the family traditions live on.
