Wonderful.<br /><br />Dear Patty - thanks for telling me about finding the books - and going back for more. And for comparing them to the gorgeous Mitford series. How kind you are.<br /><br />And Madame Shelagh Hedgehog...there must be a story there about why you'd choose that nom de blog anyway!<br /><br />And to all - I honestly adore reading your comments, to me and to each other. And hearing about your own lives. And thank you SO much for the good holiday wishes.Louise Penny Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316557270587688970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-24813114894260083282010-01-23T05:49:15.611-08:002010-01-23T05:49:15.611-08:00Louise,

Be glad you're heading for St. Lucia instead of the Valley Ho right now! <br /><br />You and Michael have a wonderful, relaxing trip!<br /><br />Hugs!<br />LesaLesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-58820205130925897612010-01-22T17:16:07.901-08:002010-01-22T17:16:07.901-08:00Ms. Penny, I bought one of your books on the barga...Ms. Penny, I bought one of your books on the bargain table at Barnes & Noble (I use the bargain table as a way of finding and trying new authors). Needless to say I couldn't put the book down. As soon as I finished it, I went back to the store and bought all the others! I read them all in about a week! I LOVE them. I also loved the Mitford Series by Jan Karon and somehow your books have the same feel to them for me - creating a life in a small village that I just want to jump into and live with your characters! Thank you! I anxiously await your next book!

When we were there last year, 7 pounds somehow lept onto me.... ; - )<br /><br />Have such a great time in St Lucia!<br /><br />Simple is, IMO, a good description of Avatar's plot, in that it leaves ample room for the viewer to add their own perspective.<br /><br />Shelagh, glad to see I'm not the only one who has mishaps online.

My husband worked with the Geological Survey of Canada on the island in 68 as part of a massive study throughout the area. He was taken to these baths(really ruins) by the family who owned them at the time. Said to have been built early 19th century. No Sandals ther in '68, but lots of good and cheap rum!Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18237323650360120037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-3606839805123417702010-01-22T11:08:45.449-08:002010-01-22T11:08:45.449-08:00You will definitely have earned your trip.

Bon voyage to you and Michael. Hop...Hello Louise,<br /><br />Bon voyage to you and Michael. Hope the trip (and the butler, and the buffet) are even better than what exists in your vivid imagination.<br /><br />I just caught up with your post from yesterday and was glad to see your mention of Robert Parker's death. I was privileged to take two creative writing courses with him when I was a 20 year old student at Northeastern University in Boston. <br /><br />I can't recall the grades I earned but know my work was as immature as I was. What I do remember is that he consistently offered encouragement (however gruff) and made me feel like I was a writer, just like he was. <br /><br />Best to you and Michael on your vacation. I hope you have a blast.<br /><br />Brenda in MaineBrenda Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14161539130987122737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-2550693249937726342010-01-21T18:12:00.013-08:002010-01-21T18:12:00.013-08:00Sounds like you have a busy day ahead of your befo...Sounds like you have a busy day ahead of your before taking off on your vacation.

But then you shed a different light on it by describing it as "simple" and I must agree with you, as did my 10-year old grandson who very definitely disagreed with the critics' summation.<br /><br />What a busy Friday for you and Michael tomorrow. Thank goodness for Santa Lucia! Enjoy your rest - I do like the idea of you being on the beach thinking of your next book to write! -YES!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
