This has been such a welcomed relaxing week. I am celebrating today with many others in the blogging community. Ruth Ayres sponsors a round-up. Click the image above to follow.
I Celebrate…
1. Easter weekend with family: Here we are trying out a food truck in New Orleans, Taceaux Loceaux. 5 Stars!
2. Writing retreat at Bonne Terre Cottage in Breaux Bridge.

3. Dancing at Festival Internationale in Lafayette.
My dance instructor, Lou, dances with legendary Zydeco Joe.
4. Writing a poem every day. Today is Q, so I wrote a Questionku. The form uses 3 lines with syllable count of 4,5,6 and ends with a question.
5. Teacher poets community. Such a supportive place to talk about poetry and workshop poems. Chris Lehman is a wonderful leader and generous to give his time to nurture our creativity.
Join TeacherPoets community hang outs on Saturday.
6. Connecting with teacher/writer/blogger Holly Mueller I sent Holly a copy of Blessen. She fell in love with her character. Thanks, Holly, for sharing the love.
Reflections on the Teche 
Love the family picture! SO cute! That writing retreat looked fabulous. Dancing, poetry, connections – thanks so much for #6! 🙂 Great celebrations this week!
Sounds like a fabulous week, Margaret. I hope I can get to New Orleans some day. Your poem is wonderful. So glad to hear about your work with Chris Lehman. Everyone seems to be having a lot of fun.
So many things to celebrate! I love the questionku, a new form for me. Connecting with Holly is always a good thing!
Beautiful pictures of you and your family. Thanks for giving us a picture of your week off. Terrific celebrations and I love the question ku. The connection of purple iris and the trinity is perfect.
Love the week with the pictures! What fun you’ve had!
It looks like you’ve had so much fun this week. I just ordered Blessen. I saw Holly’s post on FB and got it right away. I can’t wait to get it. 🙂 Have a great week!
Thanks for ordering Blessen. I’d love to hear your response.
