Opening Sentence of the Day: Potluck


Tables -- sheets of plywood, actually, set atop saw horses -- line the center of the Stehekin Community Hall that on Sundays serves as the Pentecostal church.
-- Potluck: Community on the Edge of Wilderness by Ana Maria Spagna, essays about "the enduring human connection to place" from OSU Press.

Since I occasionally fantasize about living in cabin on a river outside some very small mountain town, I am fascinated to read about someone who actually lives this way.

  1. I like the premise of the book and have been fantasizing about that kind of life my whole life! Hope it turns out to be a rewarding read.
