LitPark is only as good as the people who play here, so all compliments go right back to you guys. Jordan - I Googled Havre and it looks like a rocking metropolis compared to this town. mikel k, Ellen, Lance, Aurelio - Thanks for looking at the photos with me, and for being here! Carolyn - Hee. You will never see a photo on that side of the family with people touching - and we're always in a line. Lauren - Thanks from Bach-Boy! Pia - Aw, thanks. When I decided to do a photo walk-through of the town, I called my mom so she could look for pictures to scan in, and then sort of typed by the seat of my pants. Gail, Carolyn - Mr. Henderson would certainly agree that I'm a spitfire. But I wonder what my mom would say? Robin - Thanks. I was worried my post was too long. Tish - I'm deeply in love with Josh, too. He's very fun, except he prefaces things with "Don't put this on your blog," and it's always stuff that's too good not to share. I had no idea Carrie was your publisher. I love her taste in books! Next time you want to go to KGB, let me know. I'm all for collapsing under the table! Noria - I'm someone who loves nests and cubby holes and dens and tree tunnels, so I absolutely understand what you're describing. Sarah - Thanks!

I'm reminded of the movie Badlands. Of course you have to write about this place. Of course there is some part of you that is never not there.

Fascinating, sad, beautiful and funny, all mixed into one. You can't imagine how much I'd have adored to be sitting at that table...I love Carrie Kania, my publisher. I'm madly, deeply in love with Josh after reading his memoir and have told him so. And you, Susan, I have a feeling we'd have each other laughing so hard we'd be collapsed under that table. Have a great weekend. And congratulations to Bach Boy! LOVE this post. Fascinating, sad, beautiful and funny, all mixed into one.

What incredible photos and your touches of bittersweet humor blew me away. And Bach Boy is a star! And in keeping with our Beatle theme this week, he gets to have Til There Was You sung to him. How freaking cool. Sue, I was mesmerized by that post. What incredible photos and your touches of bittersweet humor blew me away.

This is how I pictured the landscape, the house, in the story you wrote about this place. The photo of you with the bow on your head . . . feels like there's so much going on inside someone so young.
