I hope you get a chance to explore Seattle during the hustle and bustle. This native Seattleite wishes she was there!
I didn't get much chance to explore Seattle but we did get downtown one day so I did get to see a little. It jus means I will have to go back someday!
Loved the thought of a mother reading to her child on a plane – would that more mothers would do this more plane rides would be pleasant.
I loved that too! It was one of my favorite blessings during the week. And I agree I wish more mothers would read to their children like that too.
I love #14 the bestest!
Elaine, me too!!!
