The most Washington Gift I've Ever Received

It's amazing how, as you age, you look back at the different gifts you've been given throughout life, and the certain ones that stand out in your mind. For me, it would be a teal sweater that my aunt gave me when I was around 5 years old.

On the front of it was a design of a Rainbow Trout, the most common fish in Washington. Outlined and painted with such care. As a little kid (who was traumatized when helping his grandparents clean and gut the fish on a camping trip), the sweater was one of the strangest gifts I had ever been given. I knew how Ralphie felt in the pink bunny suit from A Christmas Story.

Now that I'm older, wiser, and more caring, I cherish that memory and laugh about it every year, but knowing the time and effort that my aunt put into it really warms my heart and makes me feel grateful, decades later.
