I LOVED her book, btw, but didn't prefer the title. Thanks so much for taking the time to come out to the reading (as well as Jennifer, Meagan, Evan, Pat, Jim, and on and on.....) It was great to see so many supportive faces out there in the crowd! :)<BR/><BR/>Happy Mom's Day to you, too Heidi :)<BR/><BR/>Pinks, it's been ages since you've popped by (or me to your blog *red faced*) Man, life is just too busy these days, huh?Holly Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02336717023482533615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3583814589851254780.post-20200274600568419982007-05-12T09:14:00.000-07:002007-05-12T09:14:00.000-07:00wow. i wish i could have been there. i hope you ...wow. i wish i could have been there. i hope you had a fab time.<BR/>xx<BR/>pinksPinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14002817889549140522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3583814589851254780.post-13568907443729650112007-05-12T08:19:00.000-07:002007-05-12T08:19:00.000-07:00happy mother's day!happy mother's day!Heidi the Hickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639479864903922047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3583814589851254780.post-61335647576715316962007-05-11T21:38:00.000-07:002007-05-11T21:38:00.000-07:00Hey Holly, LOVED hearing you speak at Redwood hous...Hey Holly, <BR/>LOVED hearing you speak at Redwood house tonight (an hour ago). <BR/>I particularly enjoyed hearing about the `behind-the-scenes` aspects of the writing profession and the humourous stories in your life that make their way into your writing. Upon closing this blurb it`s off to a quiet spot to devour The Penny Tree! <BR/>You mentioned tonight that you didn`t care for the title Bel Canto in Ms. Patchett`s new book. When we have our coffee - after June23rd -I can share a description of what the Bel Canto style in opera is all about and maybe you will like it better...or not!!haha, but it will make more sense at any rate! <BR/>Thanks again for a truely interesting and fun night<BR/>Love LynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3583814589851254780.post-45759275108279962362007-05-11T20:24:00.000-07:002007-05-11T20:24:00.000-07:00Too soon to tell.I still haven't been east of Winn...Too soon to tell.<BR/><BR/>I still haven't been east of Winnipeg (in Canada that is).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3583814589851254780.post-77777776588582095332007-05-11T07:51:00.000-07:002007-05-11T07:51:00.000-07:00Holly,I have always wanted to visit Canada.
