the Oasis of Mara (California)

We just took a terrific spring break trip with our dearest friends Mejdulene and Katie to the Joshua Tree area. I’m so glad that Mejdulene had the idea to visit and invited us along because we had such a great trip hiking and eating and laughing and spending time together. They write that “this trip has been an ‘oasis’ in a hard few years,” which it certainly has. In my opinion, with friends and family, almost anything is endurable. Mejdulene and Katie have been a constant source of joy and support these few years.
