Mango Bango!

I love the new theme for July. I even resurrected my weight loss/body image section, inactive since January, for this:

Catching Up

I haven't used this page as a notify mechanism in a while! Since our Last episode I have:

reflected on my daughter's continued march into independent adulthood http://www.silkentent.com/Trees/?p=324

obsessed about whether or not I would be admitted to the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference http://www.silkentent.com/Trees/?p=325

Strange Things Are Happening

A piece I wrote in November got 100 hits (and counting) today. I have no idea why. A raven (okay, it was a crow, but it was really glossy black and raven is a prettier word) alighted on my deck this morning, looked at me, and said, I swear, "Nevermore." http://www.silkentent.com/Trees/?p=323

My husband's family is from Italy. The villages are Roccalbegnia and Groseto (I have undoubtedly mangled the spellings). My mother, whose family was Irish, grew up in Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania.

Hi, I followed you here from Jill's NaBloPoMo page because you mentioned PA Dutch, Lititz, and central PA; my mom is Pennsylvania Dutch originally from Reading, Berks County (her dad and his family was from Birdsboro), and I grew up in a small coal mining town about an hour and a half north of there. I now live in Italy (ancestral home of my paternal grandmother) but I'm interested in all my heritages :)

Marguerite deAngeli got the Newbery in 1950 for The Door in the Wall and a Newbery Honor in 1957 for The Black Fox of Lorne. She was a Caldecott nominee for Yonie Wondernose, about an Amish child.

When you get back from your retreat, we will have to get together. I collected Newberry Award winners as a child. What was her book? I am also interested in PA Dutch as it is part of my legacy. Who am I kidding, I am 100% PA Dutch with relatives in Lancaster & Berks Counties. I have ancestors in The Ephrata Cloisters, Mennonite tradition, Moravian Church, and ancestors who participated in Pow-Wow. I started a modern novel set in Lititz that has to do with the way the Moravian tradition has trickled down through the generations. I am not sure I have sold my agent on it though. Most of my research has come through my interest in genealogy adn the stories I ahve unearthed. Fascinating, isn't it?

BTW--You have a great name for an author. I can see it on a book now!

Please feel free to be in touch while you are in your residency. I'd love to hear how it is going. It's exciting, and I wish you luck! Tad jealous of a writing vacation!

The meeting tonight is not an open meeting, but if you get a book group together in Harrisburg, I would be happy to speak at it. I am doing a reading/signing in Harrisburg on December 1st. That is also on my website.
