Hey, A.

It's 7:30. I am home safe and sound after a good 24 hours away. I have laugh to at myself that there was even a morsel of dread in my reporting my plans. The sleep over/babysitting S and C was fun; it always is. C gets excited about me visiting the way S did at his age, the way she still does. This morning, since L and J were out late, we were the first up. We made cinnamon rolls and had that time that seems to be my favorite--waking up slowly with kids with bed head and big, innocent hearts whom I want to freeze in time in their pajamas.

Lunch with L and our friend M was great--food was good, ditto that on conversation and company. And then the reading was good too. It was a sold out event; the middle school auditorium was where it was held was jammed. She was down to earth and great in the question and answer part of the event. Two things she said I wrote down as I listened. "I find it is easier to write what I don't know, but am willing to learn." The other I didn't really need to bother to write down.

"A real writer can't not write."

I leave you with that.

I hope today was good. Good luck tomorrow.

Love,
B
