Today, Saturday, June 16, the convention ends with an awards banquet. It will be good to get home, especially since Mary told me on the phone that she made rhubarb pie. I asked the gentleman above if he was a Mexican military man. He said, "I beg your pardon, sir, I am a Confederate officer!" Then he went about showing me all the parts of his uniform.
There are so many prolific, good writers down here that I hope some of it rubs off. I am inspired and anxious to get home and start researching and writing again. Of course, there are lots of wannabees like me running around, but then we hope to change that - if I should live so long.
Tomorrow is a long wait for my flight in the evening hours, so I have plenty of time to read and write in my down time. I'll collect my thoughts and write a summary of my experiences on the next blog which will be Wednesday. I'm taking a few days off from it. See you then.
