Glenda,
Sorry I missed Coffee With the Poets. I always enjoy attending and would have loved to hear you read your poetry.

Thanks, Nancy, for posting this on your blog.

I hope both of you have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

I missed you and Blanche, Brenda, and I missed Nancy also. I hope everyone is in good health by the second Wednesday of December and can come for our last reading of the year. We will be signing up readers for 2013 at that meeting.
Can you believe we are already planning for 2013? Where did this year go?
Hope your mother is feeling much better, Brenda.
