Walt is staying home to care for the grandkiddos. I've written out lists of significant events and things to do each day, so I've got my fingers crossed that it will be smooth sailing at home.
Tomorrow evening I'll be reading my prize-winning essay, "Honey, Can I Borrow Your Garter Belt," during the Erma Celebration at the Washington Centerville Public Library. Last week, Debe Dockins, the Community Outreach and Development Coordinator, e-mailed that the library will be sending a van to the hotel for us to ride to the event along with featured speaker Tracy Beckerman, a syndicated humor columnist and author. Tracy's Lost in Suburbia column is carried by more than 450 newspapers, 250 websites and reaches an audience of nearly 10 million readers in 25 states.
Thursday through Saturday I'll be attending the Erma Bombeck Workshop on the University of Dayton campus. I'm excited about the speaker line up and the topics. After I return I plan to share some of what I learned during the workshop.
Have a great week, and take time to write!
Donna, I am so happy for you. Have a great time.I look forward to what you have to share with us when you return.
ReplyDeleteOh, you better share, Donna! ;-)

I hope you have a wonderful time, Donna! You're going to knock 'em dead when you read your essay! :)

Can't wait to hear tales of your travels. A chauffeur for the ride to the venue? You've hit the big time!
ReplyDeleteHave a blast. Dayton is a wild town. Be careful. ;)
ReplyDeleteI know how excited you must be! Enjoy and congratulations, again!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting Donna! Have a wonderful time, you deserve it and can't wait to hear all about it.
ReplyDeleteI don't live too far from there, I might see if I can make it to the library. Always looking for a new library to explore! Would love to meet you in person, too!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time! Wish I could have gone with you, but hope my kiddos (son Nathaniel and his wife Tonya who live in Dayton) will be able to attend Wednesday and get to meet you, my friend. We will miss you at the MWG conference here at home.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you, Donna. Know you will enjoy it all...just bask in the fun for a few days...Walt, kids, and soccer games will do fine until you return!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Can't wait to hear all about it!
