Excerpt from the Introduction of Saving the Farm; A Journey through Time, Place, and Redemption

You know the feeling - that  gentle  tug of a place
that draws you to it.   You may not at first even be  aware of it
or the pull might be  instantaneous.  What draws you there?  Why?  
Is it a sight, smell, or a memory from your past that is jarred? 
The connection you feel is undeniable as you  look around and drink it all in.  
You feel  comfortable there, like the familiarity of home.  
For each of us what attracts  us is a matter of personal experience,  preference and choice. 
But, the  message  is clear - this place is somehow part of us;
 it’s a whisper of who we  were,  are, or would like to be that draws us in
and gives us pause. 
  
For each of us the experience is a bit different.  It might be the solitude and solace
of a place that attracts us or the  sense of community and the warmth of  friendship. 
For others it might be a sense of familiarity.   It may be the  special beauty of a place
or the humbling feeling that we are in the midst of  something somehow
greater than ourselves that gives us a  sense of belonging.  
Maybe it’s the  simple recognition that where you are represents a
different  time and place, a  window into another world gone forever.
