Lone Grove New Year
by angeliska on January 2, 2009
It’s become a New Year’s tradition for me and mine to go out to Lone Grove, a ghost-town near Llano and my ancestral home. My aunt and uncle live there now, and before them my grandparents and great-grandparents lived there. (…)

by angeliska on November 25, 2008

by angeliska on December 3, 2007
Roasting ducks and painted ladies. I had not visited San Francisco in twenty-one years. Not since I was seven and I went with my grandparents who lived in Los Angeles. I remember hills and pretty houses, yes. We went to (…)
