Hi, SoWal friends...Well, here I sit on beautiful Bainbridge Island. Sunshine on my pond today and a little rain tonight to make the world green and glorious. A Chinese New Year's parade tomorrow and three big fat Sunday papers, a pot of Peet's finest. Lots of good writing going on here. Sure do miss my SoWal pals and the white beaches, though. So how about you guys send me some big funny "hello" messages, cause I could use some cheery notes these days. I'll get to the other side, but all of us can use a boost now and then. Thanks for your best efforts and I will try to respond in time with an especially good story!

Sounds like you are in another version of paradise! So many amazing places in this earth. What does the Chinese New Parade like? Is there a giant, red dragon? Just know SoWal misses you, too!

Wow Donna, I missed your post last night (I was up the better part of last night). That sounds like the perfect Sunday to me! When can we expect a little sample of your writing? :clap_1:

Hello Donna,
Good to hear from you again. I hope all is well with you and yours. I trust that your project is moving along without too many glitches along the way.
You have another SoWaller on your side of the country now. One of Steele Mama's daughters is in San Francisco working for a while.
Get busy with your writing, you have a lot of people waiting.

Well, this isn't as cool as the sunset in Kurt's photo above (which I think may be one of the coolest photos - EVER), it is what I was looking at yesterday while the crazy shoppers were looking to score deals at the Seaside Yard Sale, yesterday.

Why were they shopping instead of looking at this amazing vista?
Nice work, SJ:clap_1: :clap_1:
