The next few days will be involved with helping with Emily’s move back to Ohio. It will be busy, but I will be very happy!
Emily and Ingmar at their wedding, more than 10 years ago, and now to their fourth home which is only a rental until they can find a home they want to buy here in the Revere School District. I am praying for them. All in “the fullness of time”.
The above is Stevenson’s childhood home in Edinburgh.
And then, I am off to Toronto where a friend has arranged our third D.E. Stevenson gathering……I blogged about the first one in 2007 when we met in Boston and were able to see the manuscripts and papers they have at the Boston University Library. That happened after our group had been discussing her work for ten years. Then in 2010 we met in Edinburgh and it was such a joy to see all the DES related places we enjoyed. And now Toronto (we will be getting in a bit of L.M. Montgomery related places, too.) I am so looking forward to these events!
Here is my friend Susan D. who is co-ordinating all the events in Toronto this year…I am seeing a lot of people in kayaks lately!
I won’t be back from that until after August 16th when I have to attend the annual meeting as a trustee of the Point Chautauqua Historical Preservation Society, and won’t be blogging, either, while I’m gone. See you all then.
Oh! I was in a kayak this summer, but I only had a one sided paddle! I am so tough, aren’t you impressed?
Hope all goes well with you with your busy August!
Kay, I am very impressed!
All the best for the move! You’ll have lots to tell us (and show us pictures) when you’re back – I am looking forward to that!
What wonderful reasons to be away! Pace yourself with the moving and have a wonderful time with your get-together “with” D.E. Stevenson. It’s always a good time when one gets to use a brain cell or two. See you on the other side.
Soooo looking forward to seeing you soo, Kristi.
soon. Seeing you soon
Have fun! Enjoy your time away!
Very busy. Have fun!
I am so impressed with all you do. Love the DES meet-ups. I went to BU, but didn’t know anything about the author in those days. Have fun!
This must be the time for so many of us bloggers to take a break. It’s definitely good to do occasionally. Have a great time.
