Barbara Shotwell. A
spunky, charismatic and oh so effervescent woman that has traveled to more than
100 countries, published two books, fired an interior designer or did the
designer fire Barbara for wanting too many colors in her room? She’s an avid collector of books, musical
instruments, and marshmallow peeps. She
attends humor and wine conferences (not together, but that might help). This is a mere modest glimpse into my dear
friend.
If I had my druthers, our penny swap would have occurred at
her lighthouse in Kingston. It is one of
my favorite places on earth. I’m not
alone, it was featured a number of years ago in the Living section of the
Seattle Times. (http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=20010812&slug=pnwl12)
So instead we met for lunch at a sweet little café in
Edmonds on her way to school. Barbara
has returned for continuing education classes in Political Science because she
doesn’t have enough on her plate as is.
What an inspiration!
