I am off to Florida, to visit Grandma Joanne and attend the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Society conference in Ocala. I will give a little talk on what I learned about writing and life from the the author of one of my favorite books, Cross Creek (and the The Yearling.) I’ll miss the annual library volunteer dinner Friday night at the library (Chip will bring my taco meat for the taco bar) Chilkat Valley Jeopardy Saturday at 7pm in the Chilkat Center, and Stormin’ Norman’s annual birthday party at the Fireweed Sunday at 5pm, but I’ll be home in time to help clean up the Hospice Runnage Sale. The drop off is next Friday, April 20, all day, at the Haines ANB/ANS Hall. The sale is 9-5 Saturday April 21 and 10-2 Sunday April 22 with free stuff 2-4 Sunday afternoon. Call 766-3669 if you want to help out. I’ll send a postcard from Florida if I am able, but I may not have internet, so if you don’t hear from me, that’s why–
