Happy 37th Linds

MayDay
Little Linds, May Day at Shady Hill, c. 1984

You'd be 37 today. Chad + Hudson baked a birthday cake for you.
Hudson was accepted at the "Shady Hill" of Dallas a few weeks back so thought this photo of you in all your homemade-t-shirt May Day splendor was appropriate.

We miss you so much dear Linds. There are a lot of new little folks we would like you to meet. (I can think of one in particular but, really, there are many). Anyway, hopefully you know about them all and are looking after their wobbly passages.

And our bad news is a little bit of sunshine for you. We lost Grandpop but you, and Grandma, and mom and baby Steven, got him in your quarter. Look after him, look after us.

With Grandma and Grandpop, Sea Island 05
People we miss


Hugs from us all and happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday.
much love,

your sister (now a mom!) c

He's In! Onwards-ho...


Long since I've posted and for that I can offer as excuse only another little boy who's taken front-burner status in my life these past months.

But wanted to report the remarkable news that Hudson Stephenson Brown was accepted (as we suspected he would be) at the wonderful-looking Lamplighter School in Dallas.

Chad + Hudson have trained their sites on Lamplighter because it reminded Chad of Shady Hill School (in Cambridge) where Linds and I went and thrived. Lindsey thrived everywhere of course, would have thrived in a one room school house, but Shady Hill brought out her naturally-occurring sociability and roaming curiosity and worldly being.

Hudson will thrive too - sure thing.

Love to the school-bound boy.
