NCTE has been amazing! The panel presentation on Friday went very well. The poets were terrific, as were Sylvia and Elaine. Did you know that Elaine and I started our e-mail and blog correspondence in the spring of 2007 and now I can say we've finally met! I also had the opportunity to meet Heidi Mordhorst and Amy Ludwig Vanderwater. Hurray! I heard Gary Paulsen, Carole Boston Weatherford and David Weisner speak. I shipped a box of books home to the tune of $40+!
I have lots to tell, but since my family arrived yesterday, the next few days will be devoted to family vacation. In the meantime, here are a few pictures of NCTE.

We're having fun so far, so I may not update much until we return home. If I don't see you before then, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

It was such fun to meet you, Tricia, and the poetry and blogging panel was fantastic! I hope to see you up here in our neck of the woods soon...it feels like I've known you forever! Happy Thanksgiving with your family in the park. A.
