Wow! What a Nice Thank You

I just received a wonderful note from Mrs. Doege, the librarian at Holy Infant School, who invited me for a visit last week. Here’s what she said:

Entertaining, illuminating and inspiring are a great way to describe the recent visit of author Cynthia Reeg to our school. Speaking to both, junior high and primary students, Mrs. Reeg led the students on an engaging and fun-filled adventure of role-playing and hands-on activities which left her audience wanting more. A return visit is definitely a must. Thank you Mrs. Reeg.

Thank you, Mrs. Doege. You sure know how to make an author feel special.

Happy 100th Day of School

I celebrated the 100th Day of School with an author visit to Holy Infant School. Here’s a picture with some of the 2nd graders who are enjoying KITTY KERPLUNKING: PREPOSITION FUN. They helped Preppy the kitty find every one of the prepositions kerplunking in place in her story.

I also had a great time with two 7th & 8th grade classes, sharing some writing secrets with them and explaining the publishing process.

Guardian Angel Publishing sponsors a wonderful writing contest for students 12-years-old and younger at their Angel to Angel imprint. To find out more, visit the G.A.P. website at http://www.guardianangelpublishing.com/angeltoangel.htm

Thanks, Students & Teachers at Holy Infant, especially Mrs. Doege–the school librarian– for inviting me to visit!

Name That Animal

A couple more vacation photos. I think this one will be easy. This creature is a mammal but lays eggs. Where would you find this strange animal who lives half of the time in the water and half out of the water? If know the answer to this question, then you know one of the countries we visited on our trip.

Another Mystery Picture

Dan & Megan are sitting in a famous “chair” overlooking the harbor. This sandstone chair was built by the governor for his wife, so she could stop on her daily walks and enjoy the view.

Hint: If you discover the name of the wife, then you’ll know the name of the chair.

Bridge to Somewhere

Here is a world famous bridge. Do you recognize it?

This bridge spans the harbor of the mystery city, rising 134 meters (429 feet). Sometimes local people refer to it as the Coathanger because of its shape. Just last year marked the bridge’s 75th anniversary.

Would you be ready to join other adventurous tourists and climb to its top?

Piping Good

On one departure on our trip, the local band of bag pipers and drummers serenaded us a we sailed away. It was wonderful! Especially their rendition of Amazing Grace. Very touching…and I’m not even Scottish, although my husband is a wee bit.

Does this clue help narrow down our whereabouts or only leave you wondering what bonny banks we were visiting???
