A Lovely Family Visits Williamsburg
There are six kids in this family and they all will get the chance to read Divided Loyalties. That's very special.

Florida Pilgrim Gathering
At the Gathering of the American Pilgrims on the Camino I co-chaired a question and answer session. This bear wanted to learn about trekking too.
I also walked the labyrinth at the retreat center. It was a fun conference!

A Great Fit!
My visit to Eaton Middle School turned out to be a "great fit." Here I am in my new Eaton sweatshirt. Yeah Eaton!
I loved my visit. The students were attentive and asked great questions. I look forward to hearing from kids who read my books!

My Riches Amaze Me!
I love going to Langley Elementary School in Hampton to talk with students about reading and writing. Kids at Langley are avid readers and excited about learning. The students in Mrs. Stohler's class and Mr. Humble's class had all read Lottie's Courage. They were an attentive audience and had wonderful questions.
I met lots of great readers, signed lots of books, and came away with two great, huge thank you cards, wonderful drawings, and a gift bag containing an adorable Easter dish, a scented candle, and a sweet picture of Mrs. Stohler and her family.
Sometimes my riches amaze me!

Flowers in Winter
We are having yet another snowy day in Williamsburg. Usually we see only one or two flakes all winter, but this year we have gotten one snowstorm after another. My amaryllis plant hasn't minded the snow, producing four huge, gorgeous bunches of blossom. I'm not much of a horticulturist, but I gather that usually you can expect only one blossom from the plant. I hope this splash of red cheers you on a dark day.
