I had the wonderful privilege of speaking at the Pacific Northwest Association of Church Librarians conference on Friday. I've spoken to the Portland chapter twice before, but this time I was able to meet librarians from Idaho and Washington too. I love librarians. (Hi, Lib...hi, Nancy...just in case anyone is still out there...) Librarians are so interesting and gracious and knowledgeable and just plain fun to talk to.
Most of the rest of the very hot weekend was spent at a soccer tournament. My youngest daughter's team played their hearts out and took second place.
Even though it's the last day of June it felt like the first day of summer because I finally got a good chunk of writing done. 3,000 words in 2.5 hours. You cannot imagine the satisfaction and harmony that I've felt all day. Hopefully I can pull it off tomorrow and the next day and the next day...
Happy writing (and reading),
Leslie
You don't post very often, so I don't check very often, so I'm sad I missed hearing you speak. I would have loved that! Sounds like it went really well.

Hey back at ya! Librarians (and libraries!) rock, you're right. Here's to reading, and writing. That's a whole lot of words in one sitting, excellent.

I DO know that feeling, though I haven't had it from writing lately. You know the saying, "If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy"? It should be, "If Mama ain't written, then nobody happy!"
Mom and I accomplished so much hospitality-wise today that I had that lighthearted, everything-humming feeling from it.
