I want it here. For Emrie. I haven't put a pic because there is always so much stuff around, so today i dragged all the stuff around back where it's unseen. like her plastic pool. Toys. the gallon jug of bubbles. Stuff of the days as they go. But to me, unsightly. and this is where i live. It's WINDy. Who knows? and so….this pic is here. archived. right??
~dismantling fear~ for Emrie, yes. As is it All.

She’s a beauty, I love this picture! We lived in a 31 ft travel trailer for a yr before the 18×24 wooden addition was finished, then like that for 4 more yrs & 2 more babies…it was crazy hard & frustrating with pregnant me & hardworking hubs & 7 kids & 1 bathrm but the 3 boys slept in a tent & none of the kids today thinks it was as awful as i swear it was.. being warm & dry, cool in the hot times, a clean dry bed, a way to keep food cold & to cook, hot water to wash bodies & dishes, a working toilet.. these become anchors for daily graditude…my rescue mantra on the 100s of days when tears swallowed me up became ‘i’m grateful for this land & this trailer & this family , we have plenty of room, how can we use it more efficiently or what should we get rid of’…I love this new place that is yours & the insights you share, it helps me every time i visit here…bless you Mother Grace

Thank you for this picture of where you live.
I forget the name of the two metal chairs- Janet?- and wish they were set near the house door in this picture. So I could imagine you and I sitting there. Having tea and talking or just sitting not needing words at all. Love to you.

I love this photo. I lived in a place like that further north of
you. It was like a turtle, moving around to find winter sun and
summer shade. A cozy home. Surrounded by tree people. Joy expressed my gratitude for home eloquently.

yes…the Janet chairs…that’s one of them, holding
the door open against the wind. The other is over
at the Young Manzanita.
i most often sit on the step. You could have the Janet
Chair. It would work well.

this post has me thinking about want versus need … humbling, how much we (Don and I) have, how much do we really need?
we have let go of much “stuff” in preparation for leaving this place … there is so much more we could let go of
perhaps archiving, as you have done here, would help me to do more … letting go … thank you

for the longest time I thought you were only able to bring one of the Janet chairs from New Mexico. It always made me sad. To know that they are both there with you, together, makes me smile.
