Share the Joy: A Trip to Seattle

Image
I'm experiencing joy anticipating my little jaunt to Seattle to meet a friend for dinner at one of my favorite restaurants. At the Pike Place Market Perhaps you've gathered that I have a love affair with the city I lived in during my junior high,  high school, and college years. I left that city after college graduation, but it beckoned me back when I was in my 30s.
