I look forward to the annual Romance Writers of America conference, and this year's event definitely didn't disappoint.  It was beyond wonderful to be able to reconnect with old friends I only see once a year.  Sleep went out the door as I rose early and retired late to get in as much visiting as I could.  I also attended loads of fun events - both scheduled and unscheduled, had a nice turnout for the workshop I presented and just generally worked hard at enjoying myself <g>.  I took loads of pictures, the best of which I've posted to my PHOTO page.

 

Now that I've had a few weeks to rest, I'm beginning to look forward to the American Christian Fiction Writers Conference that will be held in late September.  Stay tuned for reports on how it goes/went.

 

I can't believe the summer is winding down already.  It seems like my three youngest just came home from college and now they're only a few weeks away from heading back.  The house will soon grow quiet again.  I miss them when they're not here but I also look forward to hubby and I finding time to get reacquainted with each other in the quiet times of Fall.

 

I've got a new favorite quote I picked up recently, one that has to do with a subject near and dear to my heart.  "Friends are those people who know the words to the song in your heart and sing them back to you when you have forgotten the words."  Anonymous
 

And I can't think of a better line to leave you on.  Until next month....
