She came for Annabel Crabb.
She left with twenty-something new friends and a list of addresses to write to.
There were long lunches that ran into late dinners. Conversations that started by the pool and finished on the couch well after dark. One rainy afternoon that nobody seemed to mind. An hour in the kitchen with Annabel talking politics over the bread dough.
Most of them arrived unsure. One said she has never really seen herself as the joiner. Another said she is not much of a reader, and worried about what she could possibly add to a room full of book talk. Honest to God, she said, it did not matter.
You go home with everything. That is how one guest put it. Relaxed. Calmer. Knowing people she is still in touch with a year later.
Join Annabel Crabb in Berry this October.
