Ah Colonial Williamsburg. What fun we had there as kids (sorry, Jacquie, I don't think you were invited on that vacation either), and then I went on a business trip in 1998 or so. It was fun except they made us do this treasure hunt team building exercise and we were going to dinner right after and the treasure hunt entailed walking and walking and walking and I had heels on instead of sensible shoes and my feet killed. But it was springtime, and so pretty. As I hope it is for you.
Ah Colonial Williamsburg, indeed. I love that place. Have not been there in decades, but would love to go back. It always makes me think of Busch Gardens and candle making. And blacksmiths. And those funny little bonnet hat thingies.
Once upon a glass or twelve of wine, Jacquie and Beth and Ellie got to talking. We decided that we were all enormously smart and clever and hilarious, and that it would be a crime not to share our unique talents with the world. We decided to start a blog together.
We needed a name, so Jacquie asked Beth: “What should we call a blog about meand you and Ellie?” And the rest, as they say, is history. We are having a blast writing this thing, and if there was any trepidation that we were only smart and clever and hilarious that night because of all the wine, our words here thus far have succinctly affirmed our mutual self-admiration.
What are you reading?
Ellie - Middlemarch, George Eliot. Finally
Jacquie - The Nightingale, Kristen Hannah

Hope you get to see all of that and more ;)
