The Z Barn

A few years ago, Ivey and Olive were riding in the car making up songs when I heard them say something about a "Z Barn".  I could not figure out what they were talking about from the lyrics, so I asked, "What is a Z Barn?"

"The Z Barn!  You know!  The little Z Barn!"

They explained that it was the barn that told them they were almost home.

Now, I spent my entire childhood driving down the exact same strip of road to get to the very same home they live in now.  For me, the "goat field" was the landmark that told me our drive was almost through.  When I saw the goat field, I knew we were home.  A few years ago, the goats left that field.  But, my girls latched on to that little building standing alone... and it told them they were almost home.  Funny enough, I had never even noticed that the trim looks like the letter Z.

Thanks to our recent turn of events, the Z Barn will always point the way home for us...

and I could not be happier.
