A week of family highlights and familiar routines, from Halloween and water polo to chilly Yosemite trails, blending the joy of new memories with the comfort of revisiting old ones.
Lovely pictures. If I were closer I would go back again and again to Yosemite. The kids were little then, but the memories are still clear to me - the redwoods, Half-Dome, the lakes, the waterfalls. As for books, I sometimes re-read some especially when it's been a long time. I'm in a book club and we're meeting with Jessica Hagedorn who wrote Dogeaters. When I was a new immigrant, that and Cebu by Peter Bacho were the only Filipino books in libraries.
Yosemite is still 3+ hours away but it’s close enough. It’s a win if we can make it back 2 more times by this time next year. I was a teenager when I first picked up Dogeaters. It’s time for me to revisit. Love how you meet so many authors IRL.
