dusk on our rooftop
On the bus after having afternoon tea at the Palace Hotel with friends I realized how much I love this city.
I got off at Columbus and Greenwich and walked into the North Beach library - browsed around, walked out and walked through my neighborhood on my way home and really realized how much I love my neighborhood and this city.
The streets, the people, the homes, the community...everything!
When I first visited before actually moving out to San Francisco 5+ years ago I dreamt of actually living in North Beach and after 3 years of being here we finally were able to move to this neighborhood. I've loved it since I first heard about it from SARK's books - the hills, the secret gardens, the moonlight walks....
We've been thinking we'd have to move once again to a bigger apt. once the baby comes because of course don't think we'll be able to afford our North Beach neighborhood but I just hope and pray that something comes along... it would be a shame and a disappointment to leave our neighborhood. I feel it is ours, we share it with all of our neighbors. I wouldn't want to leave...
So...for now we'll find the room in our little apt. for this little one coming into our lives in a few months and just make the best of it because we've fallin in love..... we're home.

Posted by: mati at February 7, 2005 04:40 PMDear Stef:
Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers, and the "shout out." We spotted two deer quietly ambling through the wooded area at my Mom & Dad's house on Wednesday afternoon and seeing them heartened us. Even in sorrow, there are still many signs that we are loved and not alone and that our prayers are heard. I am glad that if Susan and Nina are trying to send a message, I will recognize it.
Much love,
Becky
