Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I love mine too! Thank you!

Great! Glad folks like them. I had a really good time & sorry maybe to not keep the fun mystery?
Plei, if you see this, the first time we did a blitz from Edgefield to Bothell, getting every WA McMen. stamp, we were near the Space Needle when some game or another got out from the sports arena. Memorably awful. We shoulda just holed up at the Queen Anne McMen & waited it out.
I loved Bothell! We only stayed over the once, just stamps & go the 2nd time. I was besotted with the rain. Had to have been maybe July. Rain! In July ! Blew my mind! (It basically does not rain from June to November in Mediterranean climate Bay Area.) Edgefield is still the crown jewel methinks.
Happy half a year!
P.S. in case anyone goes to Southern WA, the Kamala McMen has hidden rooms inside hidden rooms, couple of them. ! The Tacoma Elks Lodge McMen. has a hidden bar that you pretty much can only find going one way & not the other in a corridor. I love those guys. So much fun.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
We don't usually get much rain in July, honestly, so you got lucky!
I love the Anderson School (the Bothell one), but I'll have to try Edgefield. That it has some rooms with private baths is a huge plus.
