the start of summer 2026…

My husband, Jeff Govoni has written a book titled, FOUR JARVES STREET. Often hilarious and sometimes poignant, Four Jarves Street is more than a gossamer recollection of a 1970s Cape Cod childhood. It’s an elegy for a coastal New England that has been cleansed from our collective memory and our living landscape. Four Jarves Street is also a meditation on family and belonging, on lack and loss, and on the myths that form our first identity.

Available at Titcomb’s Bookshop in East Sandwich, Mass or on Amazon. To learn more about Jeff’s book here’s the link: https://fourjarvesstreet.com/.

“Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.”

―Martin Luther King Jr.

ancient memories…from early 2020

I was going through photos today and realized that my memories from January and February seem like a lifetime ago. Us Vermonters are now in the 5th week of sheltering in place. It’s quite remarkable how much the world has changed in such a short time. WOW!

I decided to give my not-so-old images a treatment to make them appear as vintage and fading as they now feel to me. I provided captions for the images and a few links below.

“Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it is a memory.”
