... to see beautiful churches, world-famous landmarks and eat delightful food. I encourage everybody to go out this week with their camera and walk for 20 minutes around your favorite neighborhood with the mindset of a visiting tourist. I bet you'll be amazed at the new discoveries you find or the little things you never stopped to appreciate before. I'm anxious to see what other delights will surprise me in St. Louis.

Hi, Friends,
We are going on a cruise Nov 13-26. And rather than try to send each email individually, I found Travelpod. It's a blog site that lets me hit 'send' once, and it does the work for me. So watch for entries from Travelpod. If you aren't inclined to read them, feel free to delete. Let's hope it works!
Talk soon,
Cassie
