A couple of weeks ago, husband and I went on a little trip into the Cascade Mountains to
Leavenworth, WA, a community that rather ingeniously saved their town from recession after the Great North Railroad relocated by restyling the entire town into a Bavarian village. It's an odd weekend that Leavenworth doesn't have
something going on, from
Oktoberfest to
Maifest to the
Christmas Lighting Ceremony.
Here we are in front of
A Book for All Seasons, and you can tell we haven't quite emerged from the Seattle cloudcover unscathed (wow, so THAT's the sun!).
Going into the store was even better - my friends' books on display! Like...
Janet Lee Carey's Dragon's Keep:

And lots more, too many to document! Everyone, give a shoutout to the teens of Leavenworth, who are reading some excellent books in between all of those festivals. Tag, alles!
