Mt. Rainier postcards

The Seattle area is extremely unique. I love this area. GREAT scenery, and friendly people. I hope to spent more quality time in the area sometime.

The postcard on top is a beautiful old linen card sent in the mail in 1954!

It reads:

Four hundred square miles of beautiful National Park playground encircles Mount Rainier. "the Mountain that was God," according to Indian legend. This towering 14,408 foot peak is exceeded by only two mountains in the United States. Mt. Rainier bears a greater number of glaciers than any mountain in this country.

The bottom postcard is a a bit newer and also shows the Space Needle!

"Being Ethel (In a world that loves Lucy)" by Michele Olson

I have almost exhausted my entries on my last trip to Michigan....  but I am still thinking about it.  Michigan is a great state.  And, as I mentioned, we spent a few wonderful days on Mackinac Island.

I was lucky enough to find several books while there (there are some cool book shops on the island too!).  I found TWO fiction books, both set in 1979....  Of course the books are fictional stories set while filming for "Somewhere in Time" was taking place.

We picked up the Christian Fiction book, "Being Ethel (In a world that loves Lucy)" by Michele Olson.  This was a cute, fun read.  It is the story of a lady who inherits a building on Mackinac Island, and she has to stay there for 3 months in part of the deal.  She gets involved with the locals, meeting several people that affect her stay.  Some are good, and some are bad.

The book reads a lot like a Hallmark movie.  There are some conflicts, and the main character is not sure if the man she has been dating is honest or not.  She gets involved in the filming of the movie, watches Lucy each week with a kind nun, and she is unsure if she will move to the island or sell her recently acquired property. 

 Even if you are not someone who reads "Christian Fiction", but you love the Island, I think this would be a fun read for ya.
