how is it possible that a handful of odd ducks have a way of making you feel like you belong in the family in a very short amount of time? I think if you go once, you become a lifer. I have every intention of being back to scrub floors and scrape paint next year.

it has been a while since I had shared such sincere camaraderie from a group of strangers. I came back inspired, delighted and left with strong impressions from a few folks who habit the place.

thank you for elevating my heart.
