Day 22: Waffles and Penelope

We reviewed many pieces at Penelope today: two Penny poems, a Sarah poem, a book proposal from Carolyn and a script from Valerie.  They also offered much valuable feedback on my chapter so we had a productive morning.


Warm waffles slathered with butter and maple syrup top the menu with deviled eggs and fruit on the side. Everyone looks forward to the meal and to coming together to visit and work. Another adjustment is on the horizon.  One of the founders of the group, Susan L., is preparing to move to North Carolina in May.  It will be difficult for her to leave, but she and her husband will be much closer to their son and granddaughter and other relatives.   Steve and I talk about this scenario, too.  All of our kids are in NYC, but we are not at all interested in moving.  I know that we cannot escape the changes that our friends are going through now, but how long do we have?   For now, we plan to enjoy every day we have together.
