Dear Life, A childhood friend, Esther Kelbaugh, visited me in Santa Fe for a long weekend. I love having her here so much that I tried convincing her to move. Alas, as much as Esther likes Santa Fe, she has a beautiful home in AZ. The upside of this is we get to vacation with one another in two great places. Thank you for the fun, laughter, and love!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Dear Light, My dear friend, Virginia King, passed peacefully from this world on 02.26.2026. Her beaming smile and loving spirit will always shine through the people who love her, rainbows, and stars. She and I shared the intimacy of a deep friendship and the complex journey of living with cancer. Virginia did this with grace, humor, brilliance and encouragement: “Be Brave, Pamela”.
Within me and all around me forever, I love you, Vee.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Dear Life, I am grateful to share my life with beautiful friends: a road trip on Thursday and Saturday, my first lunch/card party in new home serving a Greek Feast. Today I will drive to Galisteo for the Artist Studio Tour and visit friends. I lived in the village 1999-2009 and remain close to artists still living there. As I write this, I am eating toast with Marscarpone cheese and french Strawberry Jam. Heaven. Life is good.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
