Atmospheric Rain Cape
I posted this for your amusement. This funny-looking person is me in my atmospheric rain cape. We are planning another pilgrimage this year, and the cape goes over your backpack. Let it rain!

Let it Snow!
Snow is so unusual in Williamsburg, that whenever we see a little, it is an event. Yesterday we got three inches!!!

Welcome 2008!
After completing the National November Novel Writing Challenge, the Christmas avalanche swept me away, and I am just now coming out from under it. We had a wonderful Christmas this year, but it entailed dropping everything else to make it happen. Our son brought his fiancee to visit and we babysat for Stefan, her cat, shown here investigating our son's new tiger slippers.
I have written to readers who remembered me at this holiday season. I am thankful to have you all in my life.
It looks like the cover of my newest book, Lili's Gift, is finally on schedule. Huzzah!
