A Place I’ve Called Home
Nestled in the hills of Southern Indiana, my family farm is a place where I have built memories that feel as timeless as the land itself. I am the fifth generation to enjoy its beauty, adventure, and peace.
At its center is our A-frame cabin, a gathering spot for my extended family to connect and be together. Here, the days are filled with reading on the porch, fishing, canoeing, swimming, riding four-wheelers, searching for arrowheads, and target shooting. It’s a place where a warm fire is always blazing and meals are cooked together. Competitive card games are played well into the night, and there is a constant echo of laughter.
For me, this A-frame cabin will always feel like home. It’s where time slows down and life feels simple and full—a sanctuary of history and heart. It’s not just a place to gather; it’s a living story. It’s a reminder of where I come from and the love that sustains us all.
