It Is Our Duty And Our Joy

Open Your Heart. Someone Will Come. Someone Will Come For You. But First You Must Open Your Heart. (old Doll)

Holly Mcghee Said I Should Come To Dinner With Them. That First Dinner, I Said Something Pretty Smart-alecky, And Alison [mcghee] Laughed Really Hard At It. It Made Me Happy.

I Think We Sent Tony Fucile Pictures Of Ourselves, Photos From Like When We Were Seven Years Old. That's What He Worked From. He Captured Exactly What We Looked Like. I'd Love To Do Another One With Alison, Not Just For The Joy Of Writing, But Also For The Joy Of Watching Tony Bring It To Life With His Illustrations. I'm Hoping At Bea, Or Ala, I'll Get To Meet Tony And Shake His Hand And Thank Him.

Writing Is Seeing. It Is Paying Attention.
