Hi Ellen,
Just wanted to say -
: Excuse me for rambling, but I have sooo much bottled up.
You said it absolutely PERECTLY!! What's more, I'm pretty sure that everyone who has ever been to a Gathering, understood every word you wrote!! Yes, it IS hard to put all those experiences into words - mere words never really seem to describe the experience adequately, do they?? And the more you struggle to put it down on paper, the more inadequate they seem. But - you done good, girl!!
Ellen, it was SUCH a pleasure to meet you and Jill. I remember you walking into the Gathering room. I saw you both come in all smiles and I remember thinking 'I'm REALLY GONNA LIKE these two ladies, I just know it!' And I wasn't wrong.
I'm only sorry that you won't be with us next year!!! But of course, it's for the best of reasons, so... we forgive ye! But - we expect ye back for the Sixth and Final (?) Great Mohican Gathering, y'hear???!!
And now, don't you guys go disappearing! Keep posting - we want to hear from ye!!
Take care, both of you,
Love,
Kate.
Thank you again to each of you for making this trip a highlight of my life.
