Episode #303: Bucket List!
Grace and Alvina revisit the "bucket lists" they created in 2005, see what they've already crossed off, and create updated lists.
For the Fortune Cookie segment, they talk about some recent changes at Scholastic Publishing. And then, Alvina tells Grace about the new book WHAT IF WE... by Eugenia Yoh and Vivienne Chang.
And they end as they always do with what they're grateful for.
How have you been?
Grace received an honorary degree from her alma mater at the Rhode Island School of Design. It was lovely to go back! Alvina returned from a great vacation to Turks and Caicos where so soaked up the sun and went parasailing!
