A Postcard from Seattle
Dear Loyal Readers,
I'm back in Seattle, having survived 4 days in the Northern Cascade Mountains with 8 of my very favorite people and approimately 22 million mosquitos. I'm totally inspired by the work that my former classmates are doing and itchy as hell. Pictures showcasing the glorious Mt. Baker and its surrounding campgrounds and glacier-fed lake will be forthcoming--for now, I'm catching up on the Big Idea from a chaise lounge strategically placed on the backyard deck of Ms. Ann's house in the lovely suburb of Ballard. The weather is a perfect 70 degrees, there isn't a cloud in the sky, and there is a plump cat perched at my feet. Every few minutes I pause and marvel at my good fortune to be living a life that allows me such amazing afternoons.
Yours in blissful repose,
Ms. Write Again Soon
PS - Did you know that there are 20,000 mosquitos for every person on the planet? That fact, courtesy of Mr. Bastish--who is, at this very moment, mid-air on his way to visit family in Michigan--was little solace when comtemplating my mumps-like appearance.
Comments
Oh yes, Ballard. I do believe that that was the whitest place I've ever been too. Lovely shopping though. I heart my new purple silk bag with handstitching from Vietnam.
