AN A-TO -Z LOO K AT WHAT’S IN THE NOVEMBER ISSUE, AMONG OTHER NEWS AND NOTESA Welcome Note
Recently, for my daughter’s
“About Me” school collage,
the teacher asked that
she come to class with a
few family photos. To
my parental horror, we
didn’t have any. Sure,
I have 33,358 photos on
my phone’s camera roll
(y’all, that’s not even an
exaggeration!) and plenty
posted to Instagram,
but not a one sitting in a shoebox. This was all rather
surprising because I tend to gravitate toward the tactile.
I write in a handheld calendar and prefer to have a
printed copy of my boarding pass. This led to a Saturday
afternoon in which I took a trip down Shutterfly
lane—were my children really that little?!—and placed
a bulk order for three-by-fi ves so that my grandkids
can someday rifle through a shoebox and, I hope,
see me in the same sepia-toned light that Rachel
LaCour-Niesen sees her grandmother (pg. 52). In
today’s ephemeral age, it’s no wonder that all things
old—mahogany furniture (pg. 72), antique portraits
(pg. 80)—are finding new favor, and I hope this
issue inspires you to surround yourself with pieces
that help tell your story—with a little less Elmer’s.Backcountry
