My friends moved back from California and invited me to live in their basement. Josh is thoughtful, quirky, enterprising, and effortlessly smart. Amy is sweet, tough, handy, insightful, capable, wise. Together, they are hospitable, fun, funny, concerned, solid -- all those qualities you'll never find in a craigslist roommate.
We are in flux right now, the three of us -- transitioning into new careers, relationships, phases of life. We ease the way by taking care of each other. Amy buys me a fancy cup with the letter K and nurses me through my cold. Josh takes out the trash & brews coffee in the morning. I dry the dishes and put the kettle on for tea.
The house is old, drafty, slanted, crooked, cold. Our home is warm, open, lovely, ours.
