So wonderful to see my ever-changing, never-changing mountains again!
I’ll be home for almost a week, before the next batch of readings and appearances. Already, we’re working on the spring readings, but we’re winding down to winter and the holidays, when the fare here will likely shift abruptly to family, recipes, and near-home adventures.
The tour has been fabulous and life-changing and I’m looking forward to the last few events of the year.
Thanks so much to all the friends who hosted us, came to hear us, helped us along the way! Really, we have the best friends imaginable. We hope to return all the favors soon.
