It is a beautiful scarf, full of orange poppies and elegantly signed by Anne Klein. Thus Sue Harrison entered a brave new phase in her professional life:…
Looking back on this week, I can’t believe how much we crammed into just a few days – family visits, author appearances, and travel – but I’ll limit this post to the day we spent on the Muskegon River in Michigan with our son and his daughters.
