I’ve known Virginia thirty-four years. She welcomed me into her home and into her life when I was twenty-two and she was fifty-five (my age now). I drove from North Carolina to Los Angeles, California in my yellow and black Ford Pinto to this stranger’s house. The year was 1977.
Today, Virginia lives in Sebastopol, California with her daughter Carol. Because of Virginia and her three daughters (all older than me), Sebastopol feels like home.
These are some of the memories from Virginia and Carol’s house that I carry with me back into my life as live-on volunteer at Manzanita Park (Prunedale, California).
Carol made these beautiful curtains.
I love the reflection that this blue bottle made.
Gingee was in heaven as she lie in the sun on Virginia’s bed.
Gingee looked beyond Virginia’s window sill into the world …

My,My,
The beauty of your soul has attracted people of equal beauty! You are a complex soul.
The more you share and reveal! Your Mentors are well chosen and seem to revel in the beauty of this journey of personal freedom! The welcoming of Gingee to share their sunlight on their bed is a very special act, but She is a Special Girl!!
Ya sure got a way with pictures and words. Glad I found yer blog as it's a nice change from the, "we went here, we ate this, we seen this" kinds that most folks wright.
Your friend Virginia has a beautiful home, also as always your pictures are just great, Hope your all having fun. Be safe out there. Sam & Donna.
