Boy, we are a busy family. Erin and Mark and Katie are now living in Pittsburgh. Jody and I leave in the next hour or so to go meet our fourth grandbaby. I am really excited to get to know this child. Sarah and Adam are flying as I write to South Africa. I booked our tickets for Guate to fly the end of Aug. yesterday. Jody and I will have our query letter ready to email to 300-500 agents and editors by the time we return on Sat.
I found something of my grandmothers [ my mom's mom ] the other day that really tickled my heart. It was among the items brought back froom dismantling my parents house. It was a music tablet my grandmother had used in a music class she was taking at Meredith in 1913. On the back, it listed her courses. They were Musical History, English, Harmony, Piano, and German. She must have been a music major as this was her senior year. It was dated 1913. By 1917, she had married had Uncles Bryan and Edwin and grandma was born.
