The result?
Next to nothing.
And when the sharing economy emerged with its listicles and bucket lists, I still couldn't find anything that was really right. Until yesterday. And it was in real-life, analog, bookshelf form.
A stressful, whirlwind stay at the Inn at Hastings Park in Lexington, Mass. gave my soul warmth, comfort and inspiration. On its shelves for guests, classic after classic, plus a whole section on cookbooks and food.
If ever I need a respite, a retreat or to be taken care of, this is the place I want to be. And the list? Handtyped. A content original.
