No more gushing over Sir Paul, hanging with my daughter, enjoying movies, and California. At least the reality of Massachusetts includes some sun and forsythia! I had a wonderful Easter brunch with my daughter, spotting dolphins on the Malibu coast. Will I ever be able to go back to putting a ham and bread in the oven, par-boiling green beans, and setting a big table? Oh, yeah. Next Sunday, when the east coast family members will be coming to the house. But, hey, my nephew and niece are bringing their four month old. He’s right up there with dolphins.
And I got a lovely welcome home from lovely Vivian, who invited me to guest blog about how I came to write Borrowed Names over at http://hipwritermama.blogspot.com/2010/04/shining-light-on-borrowed-names-by.html I hope you’ll visit us there!
You two are just too glamorous!! Loved your guest post

You two look like you’re having so much fun! I’m looking forward to reading your interview.
And I’m hoping we get a chance to write together soon again?

Who are those beautiful women behind the shades? Such a nice experience to share.
Great guest blogging, too. This last line hit me (even though I’m too intimidated to write poetry:
“And I hope those of you who are writing poetry won’t ever lose faith in the power of small words and the pauses between them.”
That’s poetry, right there.

Thanks, Tracy. Driving up the highway, just before the ocean came in view, Emily changed her music to the Beach Boys. Mmm, salt air.

I used to live there and do miss the ocean air. Colorado is beautiful but it’s landlocked. I need my ocean fix now and again.
