About Me
- Lane
- New York City, NY, United States
- I live in the big city, but sometimes my heart is still in the American West where I grew up. I read, teach, eat, and I write about the places I love. This is an extension of the little notebook I carry around with me--welcome to its messy pages.

you DID IT!!! Excellent work. My faith in friendship has been renewed. word.
If I wasn't already your sister, I would want to be your friend.
I'd rather be in any of those places you'd rather be ... but prefereably with you.
I just finished Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner and loved it, so I'll have to try this other one! I am so with you on on the Utah in June or September. This September was a particularly rough one for me to be in AZ. It was still SO HOT and I needed some major Fall relief! I'm glad you live somewhere that you actually get seasons. Don't get me wrong, I love it here...especially right now. The weather is gorgeous, and the kids play outside all day...oh, and I can find a sev for a coke slurpee anytime!!
I just realized that you tagged me. I thought Mis Hermanas was your exotic friend.
I could take issue with the "professional" part of that Janitorial Services job!
That was me that left the Mis Hermanas comment. I was using J's computer.
I wouldn't want her to be held responsible.
I did it!
