Alissa and I drove up to Ohio last week where she'll be doing a summer internship with Julia Reichert. I flew back the following day. It was a nice ride up, and after leaving Nashville we made a quick side trip to visit the birthplace of the last true (and honorable) Republican.
I remember as a kid standing in this same spot, marveling at the huge Oak tree that was growing since Abe was a boy. Sadly, it died in 1976.
Abe's boyhood home. I'm sure the man had a little difficulty getting through the front door.
The 30 acres of bottom land that Abe worked as a boy. Gorgeous area. Stop if you get a chance and pay homage to the man that served as the final exclamation point to the Republican party.
Alissa's new digs for the summer.
My first house. Still love this place.
Stopped by the memorial tree on the third anniversary of my friend's passing. Not an easy day.
