TWO LEFT FEET



I've read and reread this page from Mrs. Trowbridge's journal. It's one of my favorites. I especially love the pages where she writes about her husband. Her love for Woodrow always shines through. I wish I could have watched them Dancing with the Stars... and the full moon on that special night.

You know it looks and sounds like they had a glorious evening, don't know about Woodrows choice for entree-slug slime,[ maybe the pond sauce helps it], but the Mushroom Inn seems perfect spot for celebrating.
