    I am SO happy that you started this blog! I really am loving reading every part of it Maddy! I don’t think I’ve ever really read any of your writing, and this is definitely giving me a peek into it…you’re very talented :)

    I MISS YOU! I want to make a trip to Albany soon.
    While the trip to CA may be quiet…once you pick up Kerri, you know all hell is gonna break loose ;)

    I love you!

    Maddy, You’re a wonderful and articulate writer. And you instinctively understand the value of the image. I like that occasionally you take a shot of yourself to add some context.

    Those shots of Denver were quite nostalgic for me, having grown up there. Also, as you know, I did a lot of traveling in my yoot. Mostly hitchhiking in my early 20s, Trains and buses later, and now, exclusively rolling across the continent in my “Womb on Wheels”. You make an old Gypsy proud!
