I've been away for awhile, in the American woods, with BEARS!



My Taiwanese sister Joyce, my husband Stuart and I went on a road trip from my sister's house in Seattle across the mountains on North Cascades Scenic Highway to a bookshop in Winthrop, stopping in National Forest (and a National Forest center) on the way. ...Oh, bears and a BANANA SLUG.



Here's Trail's End Bookstore, in the lovely, very Wild-West town of Winthrop.



Abilene Hagee and her team had created a lovely window display, featuring Jampires and Pugs of the Frozen North, and a local bakery had supplied the biggest jammy donuts I ever saw!



We even had a pug present! Thanks to everyone who came along and drew Pugs with me, and helped me create the giant Pugs boardgame.
