Hi Nik, I noticed that there are so much creative people who have ADHD! It's kind or reassuring! For me a bad ADHD day is like going 4 times in the same room to do something, and coming out every time having done something else, because I saw that thing, you know, that thing!, lol! So I totally get your butterfly day, I have the same days! I just LOOOVE what you made!!! Hi from Belgium!

I am not exactly in the Pacific Northwest being inland a bit. I live in Montana which is about 7 hours from Seattle. We were having glorious weather and now it has rained for a solid week and it is cold. We have had snow in the higher elevations. You can get almost anything this time of year. Hope you enjoy your visit to Seattle. It is a lovely city and I go over at least 4-5 times a year, just to visit a real city. So much to see and do. Love the project. Thanks for sharing.

This would be perfect to keep on those old-fashioned telephone tables-you could slide a pen under the elastic at the front of the notebook. I love notebooks, but when I buy them I wind up never using them. I never take notes or make lists-it’s just not my personality, I guess. My mother makes lists out of everything and my sister was the same way. After she passed away we found many tablets where she’d made lists for vacation, books she’d read or wanted to read, work related things, etc. I always wind up using old envelopes or scrap paper for grocery lists, but that’s about all.

We tooled around Native Amer places (watched a guy carve a totem pole) and hiked the mts., art museums, good restaurants, winery tour,... . You'll be sick of salmon by the time you leave but go to the PP fish market they have funky shops. We traveled out to Rosalynn (No. Exposure set) and down to Tacoma. If we had 3-4 more days, we would have gone to BC Canada to see Butchart gardens . Have fun, drink coffee home of Starbucks.
