My brother Luke just took me to an incredible restaurant near my old 'hood: The Bluebird Bar & Wood-Fired Grill. If these guys aren't geniuses, I don't know the meaning of the word.

What an incredible gift by #tcrwp and the fantastic presenters today at the 100th Saturday Reunion. TY @katedicamillo for sharing your story about the power of words, reading, writing. A tribute to a mother who helped her daughter learn to read.

This is my son, Nathaniel (Nate). He lost his sister, Molly, on Feb. 15. Molly was 20 months older than Nate. He created this in honor of his big sister, whom he misses with all his heart ❤️. He asked me to share it with as many people as possible. Please RT. #TEAMMOLLY
