I don’t think I was back home in SF for a full month before we got our house in Point Reyes, a house with fruit trees, many berries, and space to grow flowers and vegetables. It’s when I started my blog, which was actually my husband’s idea, and “our” blog, about our kitchen garden, in the beginning. It’s a long story, but we only stayed for a year. Similar to your antique store experience, it was fun, and it wasn’t. Love and berries. I think I’ll want the same.

A while ago I brought my old answering machine to use here, and found that all the messages from a decade ago were still on it. Listening to them, I was surprised how many of those people have died, including my grandmother (who did make it to age 101) and even some friends who weren't so old.<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494925975380418965.post-18030199361068965892017-10-20T02:59:23.966-04:002017-10-20T02:59:23.966-04:00A beautiful post, brought a lump to my throat.
