O, a big tip of the bonnet to Zoe, who made suitable alterations to assist my poor camera. Amongst the “fabulous fans,” it’s tangential1/Erin second from camera left. I am once again growing pink in the face; so pleased this turned out! Go see Laurie: take & send pix!//Meredith
Laurie,
I have now caught up on several days of your travel schedule and it makes me tired to read it, although it’s clear you’re managing to have a good time along the way. God willing, I will see you tonight in Richmond, assuming that I-81 and I-64 are good to me. Incidentally, my GPS system is named after my mother, who was also wont to give me guidance.
I love LANG and am now two hundred pages in on my second reading. I notice a new gem, or something I missed before, on almost every page.
And am trying mightily not – to – ask – when – the – next – one – is….no, no, mustn’t say it, mustn’t say it…Thine, Merrily
Meredith,
Thanks for the great photos. It is all part of the 17 month preparation for Bouchercon 2010, as far as I am concerned! I have never been to Frisco, but I hope to correct that omission then. You look lovely in your Twenties garb.
Rori,
I wish that you had posted on the VBC Get-together thread before the event so that I could have met you! Maybe next time?
–Marjorie
Great pics! Thanks for sharing!
A heartfelt congrats to all the fanfiction winners! I’ve read some of their works over the years and I am happy to see them reap the rewards! They are very good writers!
