I think the barn is still standing, but it's been about 20 years since I've been there. We left the farm when I was almost 6 and moved to Florida, so my memories aren't as keen as yours about farm life in PA. But I sure loved your memories and pictures. Happy St. Patrick's Day indeed...be sure to wear some green or you'll get pinched!Pamela M.

It looks like a beautiful place to grow up. I left home at 17, too. I grew up near Boston and went to the St. Patrick's Day parades that were always in every town back then. Lots of Irish there! I had 7 Irish-Catholic Aunties to keep me in line, too.
