RockWall Cottage Chronicles #5
A newsy, sometimes amusing, usually interesting fly-on-the-RockWall view of my life as an author with updates from my Substack adventures.
The small cottage where I live and write has been affectionally named RockWall Cottage because of the rock wall that divides our side of the property from the side of the property where our friends, the owners of the cottage, live. (Learn More)
What Has Been Happening at RockWall Cottage?
Celebrating our 45th anniversary! Thank you to our neighbors, Dave and Jenn, for a lovely anniversary dinner. This was a wonderful way to kickoff our anniversary weekend. There is really nothing better than friends who love you this much!
Then we were off to McMenamins Elks Temple Hotel in Tacoma. For those who read Hotel Candelabra, I promise that I did not know this place existed before writing that book! It part of a chain of family-owned hotels in renovated historical buildings across Oregon and Washington. It has seven floors of history, imagination, hundreds of chandeliers, and a secret Vault—which we did find! What a fun day!
