Such lovely pictures to remind me of our stay there. :-) Yes, this lady and her husband are extraordinary people. I talk with her often and I'll tell ya what--she's one part of the U.S. I do miss!

Interesting tidbit: this is the inspiration for the farm I wrote about in High Kill, with the character Mary Beth Donovan. Donovan is not the real name of the people who live here, but there's a significance to using it in the novel and as an alias here.

Great post, Martia. Was just what I needed tonight. :-)
