D

We took a rare family road trip to the Adirondacks in late August，and it was as refreshing and exhausting as family vacations tend to be.Toward the end of our long drive home.even the kids were leaning forward in their seats urging my lead foot on.At that point in a road trip，even sixty—five miles per hour feels slow.We have become numb to our speed and numb to the road signs flashing by.

My family lives on the edge of Lancaster County.Only thirty miles from home，I hit the brakes，and we began to roll，slowly，behind a horse-drawn carriage.We began to open our eyes again.We saw familiar green hills and the farm with the best watermelons.I roiled down the windows，and we breathed again.Just-cut hay and a barn full of dairy cattle.

At five miles per hour，you remember what you forget at sixty—five.You are thinking about a place，even when you are moving from place to place.

I am a placemaker.A homemaker，t.I am a mother of a young kid at home，and also a writer and a gardener.But，for me，those roles are wrapped up with the one big thinwant to do with the rest of my life： want to cultivate a place and share it with others.

The place I make with my family is a red—brick farmhouse built in l880.It has quite a few nineteenth—century bedrooms and a few acres of land，and we love nothing more than t fill them with neighbors and friends.We grow vegetables and flowers，keep a baker’dozen of egg—laying chickens，and，since we moved in three years a，we have planted many，many trees.

Living with my life’ purpose does not allow for much travel.I need t be here，feeding the chickens and watering the tomatoes.Any extra in the budget，and we spend it on trees.

But I learned something at the end of our family road trip.Travel can help me in the task of caring for my own place.When I slow down and pay attention to the road between here and there，travel tells me the connections between my place and all the other places.

We eat in our cars，at our desks，on the ，and in front of the TV.We eat take-out，packaged and prepared meals.Why? Because it fits our notenough-time-in-the-day lifestyles. 36 Well，I'm certainly not the first one t think it—or say it—but we all need to slow down.

While it can be a challenge to always put healthy eating first，just do your best.Remember that the food you eat has a more significant impact on your health，weight and well—being than almost any other activity you d.40 Every meal made at home—even just once or twice a week—is a step closer to a healthier body and a slower food lifestyle.
