Who said it was time for October?

Geesh. Girl turns her back around for one second and another month flies by.

We had a blast in PA. Many thanks to all of Mer’s fantastic friends for making her birthday so special. The family had lunch together despite many of us facing wicked traffic jams. Sunday we loved listening to the Millersville Marching Band. And the Morgan State Marching Band was rocking!! If you ever get the chance to see them, go. The weekend flew by, but we snuck in visits to two out of four kids, plus caught up with my former husband and his family, and we watched some football and enjoyed the changing leaves in two states. Not too shabby.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to point out where you can find info about me for school reports, Dane. On my website you can find a biography about me, a list of my books and their awards, lots of information about FEVER 1793, and even more about SPEAK. That should be enough to get you started.
