This brought back so many good memories...the night I first met you and Lynne and Buttonwood...all our phone calls--and especially your party! <BR/><BR/>One quibble: those desserts were NOT a simple menu. It was one of the most elegant and delicious bounties ever--a bit like one of your posts here. And yes, ever since I began to read your writing, I knew you would sell your novel and have a huge success with it. So thank you so much for this beautiful post--and for everything it's made me remember. xoPatry Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10961915797919017179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37180398.post-79350024219471054202008-01-29T15:35:00.000-05:002008-01-29T15:35:00.000-05:00Guess what?!

Patry has touched each of us. Then Susan Henderson, Karen Dionne, et al worked outward from the epicenter and in ever-widening concentric circles we now have today.

Though I don't even know your name, I feel a deep and abiding kinship. How wonderful that our circle includes so many other valued friends.<BR/><BR/>Lisa, I'll never forget when you wondered if you should blog, if I remember correctly you worried that you weren't "a writer" and therefore didn't hae the right. Each day I go to your blog and read it, I'm thrilled you saw the light and not the least bit surprised Patry was there at the beginning.
