Ha Cha! What a gorgeous picture!
You’re a sweetheart, my dear. How are you? If you’ll be in town this weekend, give me a call!
Hey,
My friend Dolly is biking accross the country and will be in Farmington by late next week. I’m planning to send her a care package to the Farmington post office and thought it would be cool to have a gift certificate with a local restaurant – she’s been biking and eating who knows what for camp food – do you have any suggestions for a nice/good restaurant where she can get a great meal? she tends to like the healthy aspect of food…
I stumbled upon your blog while trying to find out more about the place… hope you don’t mind my contacting you for input!
Thanks!
Julia
Love your site! I also am a recent transplant from NYC to St. Louis and am enjoying getting to know the city more – especially the food!
Seriously? We should be foodie friends. I miss NYC food!
i don’t see a link to your flickr, so here’s mine! find me so we can be flickr friends!

Melissa! Great to have found you blogging. You are serving up a delicious slice of life here. I hope I can get a blog of my own started up sometime… Stay tuned…
Thanks for finding me here, Keith!
Oh wow. I just read your “I miss New York” post. I could have written every word in it! I’m here in London, where I’ve been living now for 5 years, and it’s a great and wonderful city but I still miss my beloved New York City every single day. I know that deep aching longing and loneliness for a place or a time in your life when and where everything seemed so possible and you seemed to be at the centre of everything. Even having no money for the first 4 years didn’t matter! I don’t know what I miss – the place, the people, what it represented or who I was when I lived there – but that city gets down deep into your bones and won’t let go. Thanks for that beautiful post – it has moved me and comforted me to know that I’m not alone with this endless homesickness for something or sometime I can’t get back to.
I found your blog refreshing and decided to share your “I Miss NYC” post with a friend who is a talk radio producer with a major network in NYC. Don’t be surprised if you get a call. Take care.
Hi! My name is Michaelle and I live in Desloge, Mo. Oddly enough, writing and photography are my hobbies too! Nice to meet you!
Hillary, it’s funny that you feel that way about New York while living in London. I spent a year in London a little over ten years ago and I miss is so much! It was such an incredible place, full of unbelievable history and people. Living in St. Louis pales in comparison. I thought I would live there again, however life had different plans. I hope you will eventually find some comfort in a city that I love.
