I've decided good memories help fight the blues. So my newest weapon is writing short sentences or paragraphs, or sentences as long as paragraphs, which mention a great memory. I want this to be a list of memories which were heart-stopping, amazing or beautiful in some way. I don't mean this to be a bragging list of amazing things Lisa's done in her well-traveled life - it's a list of memories for which I'm extremely thankful. You may not realize it, but you have moments like these as well. They may not have taken place on top of a mountain in Switzerland, but maybe they happened on top of a mountain in North Carolina, or Colorado, or even Alabama. Yes, we have mountains in Alabama.
So, here's the one about...
...that time my family drove and drove and drove in the pouring rain looking for a Bed-n-Breakfast because it was too wet to camp and the sun finally came out and there was a beautiful full rainbow and Dad said let's drive to the end of the rainbow and we did and found the cutest B&B where Bridget Bardot had once stayed and we ordered salad with our dinner and the cook walked through from the garden to the kitchen with a lettuce he had just pulled from the garden and then after dinner we went upstairs and slept on feather mattresses and it was magical.
