Just hope Marie is not too jealous and sad not to be working. But I know her time will come and she can pick and choose what’s best for her.

Since then we have shared poetry and meet up once or twice a year.

Best of luck in Seattle. I have only been there once to visit my friend’s daughter who worked both as a volunteer for a year and later was put on the payroll for a Seattle newspaper that focuses on helping the homeless.

Some of the things I loved there: the Market, the bookstore near the mkt., (vague, sorry!), the yoga in the park, the other side of the bay where it is such a resort and everyone plays volleyball on the beach, the view from the Space Needle, the great restaurants, the views…our side trip to where Chilule (sp) glass is made in Tacoma…you will find your own favs, and seems that sandwich already made its mark! A building w/lots of art…very cool! (we sell art http://www.uniqueartprints.com) Sorry to ramble…I woke up and decided to get tired by typing.

I hope you enjoy your new job…liking what you do is certainly the key! I loved 34 years of teaching high school French, English, International Cultures and Modern Dance! Now retired, I find I have less time (?) than when I worked. Very ironic and unexpected!

Enjoy your summer.
