before babies and gardens, before pottery, before africa, before matt...

....before walden, before new york and san francisco.....when I was just a kid (only a bit
older than Mac!!!!)... I was a ballerina bunhead and these people were like family

and dancing was my whole world!! Seems forever ago and yesterday, of course.




I dug up these photos today along with a letter I wrote to myself (15 pages) when I was 14 years old.... about the state of my life in 1985 and the people in it.
What a time that was!

I gotta say this facebook thing is tripping me out a little bit. I feel very pulled in every direction
with all these memories from 4 very different times in my life...all of them incredible and different. If I were to go to a reunion or revisit a childhood home it would be different. One "era" at a time. But in 3 days I have covered the key players in all decades.
Weird.
Fun but definitely weird.
(I am even revisiting 14 year old vocabulary. ;)

And I have to say I am really impressed with all that is going on in the lives of these
people NOW. Really incredible people.
