Introduction This blog is a mixture of all kinds of things--my thoughts, old letters, feelings, poetry, prose, fiction, non-fiction, pictures, and memories. There are pictures and words here from most of my travels up and down the East Coast to my many homes, and back again. Almost everything is a link here on the side--to photo albums or relevant pages. Enjoy!
