It’s lovely to meet you!

I remember visiting a friend’s house in 3rd grade. We were there for her birthday party and there were tons of kids there to celebrate. Most kids wanted to go play in the birthday girl’s room—some kids wanted to dig right into the cake—but I was glued to an upstairs window looking down into the most beautiful backyard I had ever seen. It was magnificent—full of the most vibrant colors, textures, shapes, and sizes. This was my first taste of the kingdom.
