We're all pretty much the same age, with ten years being the difference between the oldest there and the youngest. We talked and talked about our days as children visiting my grandparent's farm. We shared so many memories, especially about those who are no longer with us but who left a mark nonetheless. As I drove back up the mountain, I couldn't help thinking that memories are so dear and life is so precious.<br /><br />Sorry about the loss of your dear friend.

Yes, ...Sorry for loss of your friend and neighbor. Yes, her creative and innovative spirit contributed so much to the woods, and that story of her painting and singing is so sweet. You all have made a difference in the woods as well, bringing fresh ideas, environmental concerns, sweat and tears to this old land.

She was one of the earliest people outside our immediate neighbors to welcome us. She spoke no English, only Galegan, and we always encountered her on the road, herding 5 or 6 cows with her staff. But her face would light up like a lamp when she smiled, and she was such a joyful soul that it made you happy just to exchange greetings. We've been coming here for 12 years, and both my husband and I will sorely miss her. And not just us. She was beloved by all.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-66869773128916056992017-10-09T02:38:03.661-04:002017-10-09T02:38:03.661-04:00"embodying the hopeful, creative spirit that ..."embodying the hopeful, creative spirit that we early transplants waved like a banner"<br />How much I do love this sentence.Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354559064351144704noreply@blogger.com
