Alas, I won't even be close to Asheville.
I was almost there a few weeks ago. And I will be back, no question of that.
nice...if only i lived closer...smiles.
Dang...we're going to be in Chapel Hill the 13th and 14th.
I love fundraisers like that, I wish I lived closer.
Much to my chagrin I will not be able to attend. Will be at Mom's in MT, but it really sounds like and enjoyable event! Cathy
You were over here, Alan?
I'm not able to attend either as I''ll be off at a writer's retreat, leading a class all next week. But I'm on the Board of Trustees at the library and they asked for help spreading the word... thus this commercial interruption. Back to our regular programming tomorrow.
