It’s true what they say about Southern hospitality. Linda picked me up from the airport and she had a very nice gift for me as I got into her truck. She presented me with two of her handmade scarfs. She could not decide on a color so she made me two! What a great way to start my trip. We drove for a little over two hours to get to our destination.
I had the honor of teaching at the Creativity Center in LaGrange, Texas this past weekend. This is the building where the workshop was held. In addition to the large, fabulous classroom there are also some sleeping quarters and a small kitchen area.
About 20 steps away was this cute building where there were more sleeping quarters. It was like a really nice bed and breakfast. And I got the green room…my favorite color. I consider green a neutral!
I like to go out for a walk in the morning. Each morning the neighbor’s dogs made me part of their herd. They were really sweet old girls. Great walking buddies.
What a great place to walk and clear your head.
Look at this fantastic classroom. Lots of space to work.

BOOK REVIEW
I recently finished listening to Sue Grafton’s’, “W is for Wasted”.
It had been a while since I read/listened to a Sue Grafton book. This is the 23rd in her alphabet series and I am pretty sure I have read all of them. Kinsey Millhone is a comfortable character to come back to. The book starts off explaining how the death of two men changed Kinsey’s life. One of them she knew and one she met in the morgue. It’s good for me to have a book to listen to that is enjoyable but not too intense when I am driving. This fit the bill perfectly. (If the book is too intense I miss my exit!)
Next week I’ll share photos from the road trip we took in the middle of the day Saturday. It’s unusual to take a road trip during a workshop. And this was one of the best road trips ever. You’ll have to come back next week to find out more.
