Joy
2022–2025
To long-stemmed pipesmiths. To Saint Christopher, the patron saint to children, to sailors, and to travelers.
I can no more remember the books I have read than the meals I have eaten. Nevertheless, they have made me.
I moved to Idaho from Missouri in 2018 to marry David Preston Bond and to begin a new life. I’ve always been a good prospector, and the Silver Valley called me home. We were to travel the world, enjoying and savoring all that is, recording it in words and photos.
A foundation, a love, and a compass, suddenly vanishes. A boulder begins rolling down the mountainside that even Sisyphus can’t stop.
But life can always restore it.
