Dear Pat – or Patsy as I remember you. I just finished reading “House of Houses” and loved going back to Mesita Avenue. I bought it at a new bookstore that opened recently on Mesa.
I remembered you sitting on my lap as I swung us both in the swing that Dad put on our front porch; your sweet mama watching so intently, wondering if this ll year old gringa would hold you tight.
