I haven't mentioned yet that over my recent vacation I had a chance to meet the lovely Betty Duffy, her kids, and a nameless black cat. She let us use her computer so we could find a hotel suite, somewhere on our route between Cincinnati and Minneapolis, that would sleep our family of six (Embassy Suites, thankyouverymuch — not too expensive when the company is paying.) Also she gave us coffee, and fed my children orange juice and apples with caramel dip, and kept the scary-sounding dog locked up.
No pictures or other evidence remains, but it was nice to get out of the car, stretch our legs, and chat for an hour or so in the Indiana sunshine.
One of the best things about blogging is getting to meet other bloggers when traveling. I still haven't polished everyone off my list that I'd like to see in real life. Wonder if I ever will.
