I’m packing up Santa’s sleigh and heading out for the holiday — first Xmas Eve pizza with my favorite pack of little kids, then down valley where my beloved sweetheart will be cooking a turkey at the cabin. We have half a foot of new sparkly fluffy snow, and for the first time in too many years, I’ll be waking up in a house that isn’t empty. Which is all the Christmas present I need …
Here’s hoping all of you have a wonderful holiday as well …
I'm a writer and editor based in Livingston, Montana. I moved to Livingston from the San Francisco Bay area in 2002 in search of affordable housing and a small community with a vibrant arts community. I found both. LivingSmall details my experience buying and renovating a house, building a garden, becoming a part of this community. It also chronicles my efforts to rebuild my life after the sudden death of my younger brother, and closest companion, Patrick in a car wreck.
