Dear Reader,
This afternoon I'll be at the airport welcoming Seth and Bailey, our two grandchildren from Wisconsin. They're spending 10 days with my husband and me. Tomorrow we'll let them get acclimated to the Florida sun, and then early Saturday morning we're off to Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge in Orlando. Paul, our three year old grandson, who lives here in Sarasota is going along too. He went to Sea World with us when Bailey visited last year, too. We take a lot of pictures when Bailey comes to visit, so when it's time for her to go home, she takes along a photo album filled with reminders of her vacation with Grandma and Grandpa. Last year I made a smaller photo album for Paul too, and my daughter-in-law says that boy looks at those pictures almost every night before he goes to bed--and now Bailey's here again. Paul is so excited!
While I'm on vacation I've invited some guest authors to fill in for me. Everyone was thrilled with the invitation to write a column, so don't be shy--be sure to drop them a line. My guest columnists are ready to answer your emails.
I'll be on vacation from writing, but hopefully you'll be busy writing and entering this year's Write a Dear Reader Contest while I'm gone. It's easy for anyone to enter, because this year's theme is: Submit a recipe and the story behind it.
To see Paul's favorite photo from last year's vacation with Bailey, to view the Write a Dear Reader guidelines, a sample entry, and the prizes (even if your entry isn't chosen as a winner--it could still be featured in my next book) go to: http://www.muffinsandmayhem.com/node/470
I'll be back next Monday.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
Your friend (just like at Summer camp),
Suzanne Beecher
