1. I am so very grateful to have spent the day with both my girls.

2. I met the most delightful people everywhere we went in Cleveland. I love Lafayette, still I’d move here in a heartbeat. Cleveland: where people walk down a big city street and say Hi! to strangers.

3. A midnight drive to find The Christmas Story house. Yep! The leg lamp IS in the window.

4.  Kicked back in a hotel in Winston-Salem, NC now minus one daughter and still marveling at the lobster tacos at Lopez’s (in Cleveland, of course).

5. My other daughter is in very good hands.

6. Winking Lizard baby back ribs. Yum.

7. Rose. What a lovely soul you are. Thank you again for the chin up.
