Hope you do get a chance to return someday. And thanks for your advice about reading blogs for professional reasons. Now I can read 'em without guilt, there only being so many hours (36?) in my average day.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you liked our songs (after you revise yours, maybe we could add it to ours?) and I hope my read-by-flashlight scary story didn't give you any bad dreams.<BR/><BR/>Mary from rainy WA (wondering if you'd also like the recipe for a (salivate salivate) tofu-broccoli-cheese casserole)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21394993.post-1161379823937441172006-10-20T17:30:00.000-04:002006-10-20T17:30:00.000-04:00Alvina,It was great meeting you and hearing all ab...Alvina,<BR/><BR/>It was great meeting you and hearing all about your experiences with editing.

(It's even from an Oregon Junior League cookbook, so you can count it as a souvenir.)<BR/><BR/>There, I posted.

I love, love, love Oregon - I think if I could live where I wanted without all the issues of family ties/work/friends, it would be in Portland or outside it. I went to Reed college, which is where I was bit with the bug. It sounds like you had an amazing trip - I wish I could have been there! But thanks to you, I got to do it vicariously. I hope the catch-up isn't too onerous...<BR/>-LauraLaura Atkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738561919010280761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21394993.post-1161234146633115132006-10-19T01:02:00.000-04:002006-10-19T01:02:00.000-04:00Alvina-I'm so glad you came to our retreat.

It was a pleasure to meet you. <BR/><BR/>Your thoughts on multicultural characters has inspired me to work on a story from a recent experience I had working with some Spanish-speaking students in my daughters school.<BR/><BR/>And if you have managed to inspire Cliff to finish that novel our whole critique group is dying to read, I'll send you another box of Moonstruck chocolates!<BR/><BR/>Send me the song, and I'll add it to our collection, and come back and see us again sometime.<BR/><BR/>RosanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
