Thanks Deda. I have never been to art camp but I have been to Bennington, many times. Bennington being on the way from our upstate NY home to my parents house in NH. Always got a milkshake at the Dairy Bar just west of town (NY 7 or VT 9). Summer in New England was always, for me, magical. The air, the light, the rocks and the trees and the water......... I loved that you articulated back then that you wanted "a life in the natural world". Me too.

I lived in Woodstock for a while and remember how green the summers were there - and how deep the winter snow. I enjoyed hearing about your going through Bennington. I don't remember the Dairy Bar, though I have a few photos from having explored the town when I first arrived. Thanks for your comment!

We become who we are by what we seek out and allow ourselves to experience in life...and honoring the urge to learn and grow is, for me, a most wonderful and reliable guide...

Helen, I'm glad you mention the urge to learn and grow as a guide, so needed right now.

Thank you for your comment.

Thank you. It's interesting how reading the journal reminded me of many things I had forgotten!
