to Annie.

Thank you facebook for once again reconnecting me with someone I probably would have had very little chance of stumbling upon myself.

The Valentine girls and I grew up in Greys Harbor County together, a.k.a. the great northwest of Washington State.

I love the personal touches she added, I love polka-dots, banners, and iced tea. yummy!

I also have a “button” now, if you’d like to add it to your blog, please do! Another fascintating outcome of working with Alyson,
