Hi. This is rosie and Susan. We stopped at this bench cuz we’re looking at a guy holding a corsage in a tux w/his parents, waiting for someone to come. We’ve read this whole notebook and he’s still waiting!!! We want to know who he’s waiting for. For ppl reading this – PLEASE WRITE NEATER! WE couldn’t or didn’t read some of them. OK, here’s an update on the guy w/the tux. They met up w/another bunch of ppl. WE are going to find out where they are going. They are walking out to the pier. They’re taking pictures out there. Anyway, it’s 5:30 pm and we are going to finish rollerblading. It’s getting too cold to sit on the bench. Just want to say this is an awesome idea. And we enjoyed reading some of the entries. Have an awesome day!

Everyone needs to take time to frolick in the daisies. Forget the smelling, frolicking is the new cool thing to do! We just really enjoy frolicking! Best wishes!

Maryann and Wanda!

Life right now is hard. I come to Green lake with my best friend Natasha and play Frisbee to get away from decisions of what to do with my life. Play music and compose or be the business woman my parents wish. NYU is my dream but UW or Western is reality. So my words of wisdom are be all you can be, don’t let anything stop you. Not even a fish running with shoes on! Love always & forever, Michelle G.

Hi, I’m Natasha, mentioned above. I used to write so I’d imagine I’d come up with something good and brilliant but I haven’t in months. Maybe I’ll come back in a few months and have something brilliant come out of this pen. Love, Natasha.

It’s cold & we ate ice cream.
