About Me

CURRENT MISSION

tend my garden, help you with yours

ABOUT ME

Anna, Gretchen, and Andy, also known as A-Go! flash from the past but livin in the present! We are full-fledged pledges to the cooperative Lothlorien Hall and some of Oakland love. Put us in your suitcase, let us help you pack. Put me in your breakfast, put me on your plate, cuz you know it tastes great.
We are making a tour of the Southwest to investigate for Anna's thesis and Gretchen's drawing project, and Andy's aesthetic inclinations.
We enjoy fireworks, deserts, brewing and consuming alcoholic and fizzy beverages. We want to cook you a delicious dinner.
Andy is an avid knitter, while Gretchen has ideas. Anna, on the other hand, is always good for a joke, and makes light of even a dire situation. Together, we are, going on a road trip.

PHILOSOPHY

I am trying to let go. Of everything. As one couchsurfing host told me, but it is difficult.
I have an open mind and am trusting.
