The next Wordkeepers salon is Saturday, February 18, at the Ashe Arts Council, 303 School Street. Henry and Scot will warm the crowd up with their singer-songwriter magic at 3:00 p.m. At 4:00 p.m. writers will begin the open mic readings. Refreshments will be provided. For February's Wordkeepers, writers should email Julie Townsend at finally@skybest.com to reserve your open mic spot. I will miss this month's salon because I'll be in El Salvador with my Charlotte Habitat for Humanity crew. Pictures will follow!

Patty and Pastor Chris (he's the tall one) and Chris' family. Chris worked in El Salvador on the trip I was on in 2011.

In addition to church at Christ Lutheran, Patty and I visited the shrine of Sephora...

It was very easy for Patty to have fun at our fav store!


Really spectacular scenery; really wonderful guides; really delightful group.

Classic summer-occupied chalet.

It was a "wow" trip in every way.

Henry and Emma, Come on in!

Here's what Henry did at Wildacres: these are his notes on his rock opera.

Trav is a very relaxed guy. He was sleeping in the pose and not interested in the Tiger game on t.v.
