update from molly ryan:

hello family. once i made a book for my mom that was about all the things she taught me to love. i feel like i should do the same for the mund women. my desk is covered with photos of the cabin. i have a post-it not with the dates "June 29-July 8th" written on it just to the right of my computer screen. i am dating a boy who cooks food family style and i need peoplelovepeoplelove until I need quiet time to think and listen. everyday i realize more and more what a product of you i am. here are a few images of things that i love today, that you might too:

last week a friend of mine asked me if she could come visit me at the cabin this summer (she lives in Wisconsin and I have not seen her in a year), I responded "YES YES YES, but, before you sign in blood I must warn you: the cabin is nothing fancy and always a bit quirky...so how do I explain this....my love of crafts and family dinners? 100% product of the cabin. My free spirit and head out the window on nighttime drives? 100% product of the cabin. My inability to wash dishes in a timely manor? 100% a product of the cabin. See what I am trying to say? 20 people in a 4 bedroom tiny tiny cabin...it can get crazy during those weeks in July. When noone is there it is the most secluded, serene place I have ever been, which I love, but in July it is CRAZY-AWESOME-WONDERFUL-SILLY-PACKED-OHMYGODIHATEYOU-SIXGROWNWOMENYELLING-LOVELOVELOVE, which I also love. Imagine 6 or so more of me + 5 college boys + 6 or so small children....:)"

Love.
