One Gornji Crnacÿ, Bosnia and Herzegovina The grandfather of six stood on his front porch, a cup of tea in hand as he looked out across the valley at the green hills, thinking of the old days. They didn't seem so long ago, but still he often wondered where they had gone. The warm afternoon tired him, and he considered a nap before dinner. It was something an old man would think to do, and this bothered him a little, because he didn't really consider himself old.
