(from left,Misty, Judy, Alex, Bee, Katie, Me, Melissa) Missing are, of course, Robert, who is the photographer, and Stephanie and Sue who made an early departure. But, here we are -much of 335 South and North, or the East Coast- West Coast house collaboration. Our neighbors, John, Mary Beth, Julie and Will had also aready left for the airport. I had said goodbye to a new-found friend (LK!!!!) the night before when I practically fell asleep while we were chatting! Glenny and Jan were given see-you-soon goodbyes (the best kind, no?) It was great to meet Jen and Fred.
Misty has a MUCH more more complete photo of the crew on her blog... I think Robert is once again our photographer...
On Friday, I felt like it had just been Tuesday, when we arrived to take over The Palace with John, Mary Beth, and Julie & Will. Friday, already?!! Ah, yes, indeed time flies when one is having the best of times.
My students were amazing, giving, caring, fabulously gifted souls. Each class was time spent with my tribe doing what we love- learning, sharing, making. And this year was special- new-found friendships bloomed, time spent with people I only ever seem to see briefly, time spent with people who so have my heart whom I missed so very much... ah, it was the best.
Hey LK, It was so delightful to get to know you better at AF. I love your "gang." Hope we can catch up and play some day soon. I envy you going back to Journalfest. Sounds absolutely divine :-)
The work out of your classes was incredible and you should be so proud.
