Welcome back! Vacation time goes so quickly!
Thanks for writing and for telling us about Lake Como, is so beautifull and tranquil place to be. I was there one year ago and I prompted to see my old photos from the Bellagio Hotel. Looking forward to see you next month.
Cordially yours, Martha

July 11, 2009, Dawn, I just returned from the Orange County California Genealogy Society meeting where I saw others from your writing class. Nancy P. mentioned your blog from Italy so I went immediately to check it out. I usually keep a journal when I travel. When I process the activities/insights of the day, I’m better able to sleep. In Oregon I attended an all-day writing seminar (www.creativejourneys.net) where we wrote about specific topics. I’m expanding those 10-minute writing spurts now that I’m back home. When Marta S. invited me for Fourth of July dinner, I suggested we each write something to share. I wrote about my British friend Donald who died on his favorite American holiday, the 4th of July. Marta wrote about her father who also died on the 4th of July. If I hadn’t had that “deadline,” I wouldn’t have remembered Donald with the details that writing brings to the foreground.

The fact is, I didn’t get any writing done, other than writing this blog post. I expect were I to spend six months in this area, as my friend did, I could get down to business after a week or so of lollygagging around.
