Yesterday and Tomorrow

 
Yesterday I participated in an author event at the New England Reading Association conference in Nashua, New Hampshire.  When the directions came for the event, I smiled to see it was at the Crowne Plaza hotel.  For many years, the New England Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators held their annual conference in that hotel.

   I sat on the weird, round couch in the lobby for a few minutes in honor of all the good times and good friends I made at those NESCBWI conferences.
