this was another wonderful weekend. the sort of time which makes you wonder why it took you so long to find it, or perhaps even, to get it back.

saturday, i went with some fellow FMLA folks to volunteer at the women's interfaith institute.
i don't think you understand what you're a part of, the volunteer architect there told myself, kim, & alisson. this is the only place like this in the world.
we very much enjoyed talking with this man who encouraged us to 'find our passion' when deciding what we want the club to contribute to the institute. it's in an old church which he's in the process of restoring, & once fixed up, will be a lovely building.
seneca falls is a place which all women could benefit from visiting. walking through the women's museum there is such a surreal feeling, reading of all the things women once could not do. it is very easy to take what we have for granted.
we stopped for lunch at a lovely little deli, & then checked out a very awesome store called woman made products. it's a woman owned & operated textile screen printing company, though there are many other little knick knacks as well. i think it was adored by every one of us as we scoured the little place for probably a solid hour.

while i'm still a bit weary of declaring terms for myself, it's nice to spend time with women who care. seneca falls is a place which we can (and should) all take pride in.

i also had a lot of heavy conversations this weekend, went to zee play, and saw i heart huckabees (which i am rather indifferent to). i really like where things are right now, & i don't feel as if every day i can say that.
