"When we moved into our Craftsman cottage, we were so young and so free from responsibilities after dinner, and the miles we walked around the neighborhood in the dark were the foundation of our early marriage. After walks, I would go to my desk, tired, but my mind was electric. I had so many thoughts and ideas for my work, I had to save them before sleep. I can still smell the oak teacher’s desk. It was my stage, and I performed in silence, until my thoughts and my inbox were empty." - Erin
