Melissa is the
girl. She drives both VWs with great courage, optimism, stamina, and aplomb. She gave birth to a little baby once. Besides tooling around in and sometimes camping in old VWs, Melissa likes to knit, crochet, sew, bake, (you know,
make stuff), garden, read, walk, drink tea, and think about things. Some of her favorite musical acts include Blake Babies, Wilco, Pavement, and Juliana Hatfield.
Mitch is the
boy. He drives both VWs with an ear that just waits for the next thing to go wrong. Besides tooling around in and sometimes camping in old VWs, Mitch likes to listen to music, argue, eat pizza, tend fires, and think about things. Sometimes he likes working on old VWs, but sometimes not. Among his favorite musical acts are Fugazi, Johnny Cash, and Minutemen.
E is the
little baby Melissa gave birth to once but now she's bigger. She likes to make art, read, build doctors' and dentists' offices with Duplos, do puzzles, think and talk about rabbits, and tool around in--and sometimes camp in--old VWs. She is in the market for a Beetle, preferably 1972 or older, that she can paint
pink "rainbow" and drive when she turns seven (her words). Her favorite musical act is probably They Might Be Giants (and not just the kid stuff either).
The bigger people are Nebraska natives, the little person was born in Montana, and we all live in a smallish town in Western Montana at one mile in elevation with our cats, neither of whom shows the slightest interest in old cars.
If you're coming anywhere near us, shoot us an email (ludwig74 AT gmail [dot]
