what we do.
greetings from martha's vineyard!
i made it and completely enjoyed the ride!  i got here on sat evening to hang with jennie and mere (my 2 best pals here) and brunched and such on sunday. i spent mon. doing tax/car things and got into the gardens today and had a great dinner w/ mere and dave! i have truly arrived... i am living w/mere (meredith) in a beautiful home in vineyard haven w/ her 2 dogs-basingi's...they are sweet boys and their breed is an african bark-less sort!!! i am settling in, although everything i own is on the floor and i am yet to find places for my belongings... i am home.  

i'll begin from where i left off in atl.  i then drove up to hendersonville, nc-which is just s. of aseville to play with my pals nichols, josh and their son, finn.  i spent 2 days with them enjoying fires in the back yard, big black chickens with a name i cannot remember and catching up.  i then made my way up to asheville (only 30 mins) and had an amazing dinner at the restaurant my pals own called 'table' it's downtown and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!  i spent the next 2 nights w/ my pals karin and matthew who i went to warren wilson with ages ago.  on thurs. i had baby times with josh and cody and vivi and lots of other babies who came over to play.  i then went to hang with ian and grant-amazing bright and cheery twins. we enjoyed pizza that night and i was off the next morning! i drove from asheville to the ny, pa, nj border...it was quite a long day, but great conditions to drive-overcast and cool on I-84 through the mountains...lovely! i made it to the boat at woods hole by 4pm sat. and got on the next boat w/o a reservation... the blessing of march! .... and the rest is history! i am excited to get into the gardens and back to the coffee shop, mocha motts. our work in the gardens is definitely weather dependant this time of year, but today was the perfect day, between 45-50 and bright sunshine. i have certainly arrived before spring has thought about touching the vineyard, so i get to have the whole thing!!! my body is a little out of wack - from fall to spring to winter to fall to spring. we are all very excited here, we feel a GREAT summer is upon us and it just gets better everyday!! i hope this finds you all well and enjoying the splendors of spring!! take care, karengrace
