     Vickie,

   Hi Margaret. My son is finishing 2nd grade at ESA and I have heard wonderful things about your writing camp in the summer. I was wondering if you were doing it again this summer and if so, when? We are very interested in attending!

     Yes. Plans are in the making for a camp at EDS in June and one at ESA in July. I’ll email you a flier when we have them. Thanks for your interest.

   Margaret, I hear your gentle voice calling, inviting all to enter your world – the teche – to evolve as reflective writers. Thank you for your creative talents.

   Hi Margaret, The wisteria are so lovely. I’m not sure if this is the space to mention that I’d like to be included in your PF roundup for Aug. 1, 2014.
   My site is Bookseedstudio.
   This week I’m sharing my own poem “Summer” & also lines from a poem by poet & poet-in-the-school Naomi Shihab Nye, who compiled verse from young readers in SALTING THE OCEAN.

   Margaret,

   Questions, Questions, Questions.

   What is the writing camp? How do you do it? Are you having the camp under the Grandma Oak?

   Is it the lilac bush in picture?

   Best wishes.

     The writing camp for kids was years ago. The attendance dropped greatly so I don’t hold them any more. The bush is wisteria. Thanks for your interest in my blog.

   The daughter of a friend of mine just moved to Lafayette, La, from Boston. I think your work would be a perfect way to help them get to know their new home. To me, an upstate New Yorker, it seems like an exotic and mysterious place. I look forward to reading your work about the bayou!
