nostalgia

no, no news yet. how do i feel? how you think . . . hangin' in there, one day and one night at a time, waiting for this baby to feel like being born.
oh, virginia, i have been dreaming of you, of driving down Happy Creek, of the mountains, the valley, the river, the stores, the roads, the country, ponies; yearning for Royal Oak Books and Main Street and Skyline Drive and the Griffin . . . and, most of all, of course, old friends. cheers to you. miss you all, *lots*.

Virginia misses you too. In fact every time I look at that picture of the two of us on the fence in Little washington it just looks so. . . . right.

It was good to talk today Jamie. Virginia sends its love and lots of sassafrass.
