Five Things on a Friday

1. I'm so glad it's Friday. It feels like this has been a long week.

2. I had a lovely time last night at the New England Reading Association conference. I saw friends and met lots of teachers--including ones I've done events with (or am scheduled to do an event with).

3.  Before the conference, I went out to supper with some of my Maine author and illustrator friends. We went Otto's Pizza. They're famous for unique pizzas, including their mashed potato, bacon, and scallion pizza.  It tasted much better than it sounds!

4.  My novel editor tells me they might have an illustrator for my Shelter Pet Squad series. They'll know for sure soon. It's hard to wait!

5. It's been getting down into the 30s at night a few times, so I've given Cookie back his warm acorn house. He loves it.
