We brought more than great memories from our trip to the Pacific Northwest:
Steve’s uncle and aunt graciously gave us this steamer trunk, belonging to Steve’s great-great-uncle Carl Swanson.
Isn’t it gorgeous?
The boys were oohing and aahhing over it, and the trunk that previously lived in our master bedroom is now in our living room, housing various blankets.
We are so happy and honored to have this beautiful piece of family history in our home.

I’m a little spoilt for choice: I don’t know which is more gorgeous, your trunk or Foxy. But I suppose maybe the canine *just* has the edge: after all, you can’t take a trunk for walks 🙂
You know, even your comments are beautifully written – I can’t wait for your next book!!!
