It was nice to have a week that was almost completely free of chores like laundry. <BR/><BR/>I didn't mention those were famous ankles because I live in a small town and I've experienced having a door removed from its hinges and my possessions tossed - not here, but . . . it sticks with you. I've never replaced my stolen engagement ring. But, now I feel like I can talk freely about vacation, if I can get myself to stay awake long enough!<BR/><BR/>The weather was fabulous!! Even the rain was great - it smelled fresh (it just makes things smell moldier, here) and brought cool air. <BR/><BR/>Simon wore a jacket and tie, but not the hoopty suit. It's definitely worth the time to see him do a reading, so please do go, if humanly possible! And, buy the book so we can chat about it!!!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-4973505189218068602007-06-10T15:22:00.000-05:002007-06-10T15:22:00.000-05:00Glad you are back!

I'm hoping both authors will eventually expand their touring farther South. We seem to miss a lot of great authors, down here, don't we? <BR/><BR/>I think those fun pilots are really rare. One of my friends in Jackson has to take some strong medicine to avoid panic attacks on airplanes. Do you medicate? I'd think an airplane would be a lousy place to have a panic attack, since you can't just walk away.<BR/><BR/>Aw, thanks. We were having fun and I just didn't have the time to post. :)<BR/><BR/>a.book,<BR/><BR/>We did have a wonderful time! I wasn't kidding about the muscle walking around that natatorium - those are some muscular kids and coaches!<BR/><BR/>Not quite caught up on my sleep because Delta called to say they have our luggage. We'll have to go fetch it. Darn, I was hoping for a full day at home!<BR/><BR/>Joy,<BR/><BR/>I thought of you when I got to the pool with kiddo, actually, but I didn't have your private email address with me. I would have loved to meet you!!! Because we've experienced burglary, we live in a small town, and you never know who might be reading, I decided it would not be wise to post a message in a comment section to let you know I was nearby - or I would have done so. I'll have to remember to warn you the next time we head your way. I think kiddo will want to go back to swim camp, next year. :)<BR/><BR/>Stephanie,<BR/><BR/>I have a feeling Colleen will travel farther with each book, as she becomes more widely known. The best way to get her there is to send all your friends out to buy her books, so the publisher will sit up and take notice that she's successfully selling!<BR/><BR/>Simon is in your area, right now!! I just checked his website and he'll be at Seminary Cooperative Inc. on 57th Street in Chicago, 7:00 pm, Monday. Please go!!! Buy a copy and read it, so I have someone to discuss it with! :)<BR/><BR/>Bridget,<BR/><BR/>Hi! I'm glad you found me and thanks for visiting! The kids were obviously very excited to see Phelps and the other award-winning swimmers. The mom in me was simply watching what they ate before they began signing swim caps and t-shirts (fruit and salad).
