Our granddaughter Bailey delivered a fantastic valedictorian speech. Here are her final words: "If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet, how important you can be to those you may never even dream of... There's something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person."
I had an exceptional reading week. Yes, four 5-star reads and one 4-star read. Exceptional.

Some of the things we often talk about at the Sunday Salon:
