There's nothing like spending a sunny afternoon with good friends.
Last Sunday, my husband, two friends and I spent a wonderful afternoon exploring Seattle. We took the Foster Island trail from the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) toward the Washington Park Arboretum. The trail is a haven for urban wildlife. We saw a duck sheltering six fuzzy ducklings, right on the trail! And the last time we walked the same route, we saw a muskrat chomping on a lilypad. But beware -- in the spring, the trail can be muddy. We also discovered Fireworks, a fabulous store full of unusual gifts, including garden art and clocks made of salvaged tools, purses made of old license plates, toy snakes made of old bicycle chains, genuine miniature crank music boxes, fragrant soaps and candles, chocolate, cards, and more. Fireworks has five stores in the Puget Sound area.
Books that I'm currently reading and enjoying: BETTER, by Atul Gawande, THE CITY OF GOLD AND LEAD (re-reading), the second volume in John Christopher's Tripods Trilogy, HOW DOCTORS THINK, by Jerome Groopman, M.D., and THE WEATHER MAKERS, by Tim Flannery.

Methinks said author could be reading "For What He Could Become", a first novel by Jim Misko of an Alaskan lad who faces the daunting task of coming back from WWII and finding the village is not suitable for one who has marched through Europe. I read it six times--course I wrote it. Like your blog Anjali. May it go well with you. Jim
Jim -- great to hear from you! Thanks for posting. I hope your writing is going well. Anjali
