It’s wonderful to visit new places, experience new things… today we’re in the Emerald City (discretion prevents me from saying more than that).  It’s truly a jewel of a city from what we’ve seen so far.  Of course it was raining when we arrived.  Figures.  But, now that it’s cleared up the view is beyond belief.

One word of advice.  Stay away from blue potato chips and an overdose of chocolate chip cookies.  The combination is totally devastating.

The room is sweet (that’s a play on words)… the service very attentive, but not overwhelming.

I guess I’m a little stymied right now in more details that I can report… but leave it to say that I’ve collected more pens today than I could possibly use in a lifetime.  Umm, then again, they don’t seem to stick around in one place when there are children present.

Let’s leave it at that tonight, and we’ll see what tomorrow may bring.  Suite Dreams!

• Words Can Hurt Text.  Seems to simple, doesn't it?  We write what we think.  But, do we sit back and think what we write? A written sentence lacks so many things that perhaps the real meaning can be misconstrued.  Or, perhaps they are construed and hit home like a dagger cutting one to......
