Marfa was about being in the center of beautiful nowhere... and driving for hours and hours to get there. Going hundreds of miles without seeing a single car, person, building... then, out of nowhere, there is a cemetery. Not like one I've seen before... it was beautiful in the most simple, hand touched & serene way. So many graves marked only with piled rocks and hand-crafted crosses of pipe or weathered wood. Sitting amongst them, you could feel the presence & weight of the people that worked so hard to lay their loved ones to rest on a hillside in the beautiful desert land. It was peace...

I'm not so good with words (hence my profession), but with a quirky place like marfa that rises up to greet you, it's easy to feel comfortable. Even easier thanks to the lovely ladies I got to meet, got to know, came to call my friends. I doesn't seem as though as many days have passed since we all parted ways. It all went much too fast and upon returning home, the chaos of the normal everyday life returns. I miss the slower pace of marfa. The simpler ways. A place where you can make a sign in the laundromat out of children's magnets... and no one ever steals them. A place where they name their washers and driers, you know, so you don't forget that your pants aren't quite done but George is working on it. And don't steal Stephanie the washer, I'm using her next.

i sure do feel like an extra shot right now. here is the menu at the tumbleweed laundry + coffee shop. this is where we found a nice cup of joe! they came up with a novel concept to put a laundry mat and a coffee shop in the same place. not a bad idea!
