FESTA ITALIA

               PORTLAND, OREGON

  I was honored to be a part of Portland’s Festa Italia this year.  Great music, food and comraderie!  When I closed my eyes, I felt like I was back in Italy.  For those of you who didn’t make it this year, write it on your calendar for next year.

A special thanks goes to Kerry-Lynne Demaris Brown and the Amici club of Portland for inviting me.  Kerry-Lynne is a real-live superwoman and wonderful lady to boot!  You guys are amazing!

Thanks too, to all you who stopped by to see me or buy books.  I loved talking to each of you.

Now it’s on to the next Festa Italiana  in Seattle on Septermber 24 and 25.  It’s going to be great.  See you there!
