I enjoyed every part of this week's Wild Things. My imagining your living in the spacious 1886 home could easily be a very similar one in the Port Townsend historic district. No wonder this town felt familiar. The nostalgic memories reveal important parts of your past that are just beginnings of longer intriguing conversations.
The tradition of adding the inhabitants' names and dates to the photo of the original house intrigues me. I wonder if people now and in the future would respect that? I hope the family who lives in "your" house will continue it.
It seems that moxie runs in your family Barbara! Keep telling us about strong women.
And another great musical recommendation. What fabulous voices and arrangements. Between you and Krugman, I get my nearly all my new music sources. Thanks!
As one who is 10 years older than you, I can attest to the existence of this veil of older age that you saw as you visited with friends dealing with their current issues. There is no denial that our lives and friends lives are changing. Reminding ourselves that we still have time to photograph, write a poem, paint a picture, teach a class, quilt an art piece,be there for others is good enough for me now. I am not done til I am done!

I have to admit I was a bit sad to hear your Berkeley house is being remodeled. I have so many good memories of visiting you and B. in that house.
And we of you.
