Ghost town stories and serendipity

Apparently, I was unduly influenced by all the beach wear at Old Navy and forgot that it's still (or was still) February in Seattle. I was a touch on the freezing side.

In other, more serendipitous news, when I... ahem... borrowed that picture for my post yesterday, I noticed that it was on an author web site. Good networker that I am, I went back to the site and found out that she (Jan Pierson) is a children's book writer with a series set in a western ghost town! How fun!! I know have her first one all snuggled down in my Amazon cart waiting for my next order.
