Post mortem… 
Nationals was truly a wonderful experience.
I shared it all with a roommate who was kind, considerate, and a whole lot of fun to be with. And, she won the Golden Heart to boot! Major congratulations, Kay! It was truly a privilege to spend time with you, and I know your future as a writer is going to be platinum!
Judith and Peggy — It was such a joy to see San Francisco with you. We visited so many fantastic things, and thanks to my inability to choose the correct bus, we also saw more of San Francisco than we intended. Being with two such strong and self-assured women rubbed off. I’ll be so much more confident in all I do because of both of you. Thank you!
Nancy and Nancy — You are both such a delight! I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as much as I did spending time with you. Thank you for so many great memories!
My Indiana RWA chapter sisters — Thank you for your support, your friendship, and your guidance! Thank you for sharing workshops, lunches, dinners, drinks, coffee, chocolate, and the awards ceremony. I feel so close to all of you now!
I do have to say that it was nice to sleep in my own bed last night. Having a Schanuzer snuggled up against my front and my beloved Old Man snuggled up against my back was heavenly.
So I’m home now. Loads of laundry to do. The refrigerator is empty. Stacks of mail to answer. Manuscripts to send.
But I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.
