Love Note: You’ve Got Mail
One of the best surprises is opening the mailbox and finding a letter or care package.

The Tale of the Golden Pen

“Hard Hat Tour” – Covenant House’s New Home
Do you remember how a few months ago I was hoping to go on a hard hat tour of a cool new project? Well, today I got my chance! Covenant House opened the doors to their new home (obviously still under construction as shown in the above photo) for downtown-ers and I got to poke around and ooo and ahh* to my heart’s content!
