I think it was Fox News that had her on.<br /><br />I am so glad your meeting went well. I have enjoyed her DVDs and books.<br /><br />You were surprised at the snow...imagine our cousins up from Florida for a few days. They were in the mountains at a cabin and got four inches of the white fluffy stuff. The newest in-law cousin had never seen snow before. So they were quite happy.<br /><br />I am so happy for you and your lovely visit with family and friends.<br /><br />Becky K.Becky K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10531485758141842829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-84942377244859047122009-10-22T22:44:58.310-04:002009-10-22T22:44:58.310-04:00Welcome home!

How fun for me to have the sweet memories of our families laughing, discussing, eating and eating and eating---what excellent food. I knew from long ago that I would love you as much in person as in blogs. Your heart and faithfulness and perseverance and bringing beauty to your life and so many others in the midst of it--are such a great model for me. I can't wait to put our story online--after I get to the announcement I was supposed to get to 2 weeks ago about the mom's conferences. Just got home last night in a snow storm and catching up--but with sweet memories in my heart. Good resting to you this week.Sally Clarksonhttp://itakejoy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-91163919523572940782009-10-22T18:41:21.826-04:002009-10-22T18:41:21.826-04:00Brenda~

Hearing you speak so highly of Sally and her books makes me want to rush out and buy them. I am so happy for you that God blessed you with a wonderfully refreshing trip. Rest up and share the joy with those of us chewing our nails waiting to hear more. I love to read of your travels and all things you share. My heart wanes to move to New England-simply for all the snow and beautiful scenery.<br /><br />TaTa,<br />Jeanie in KYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-1747339360013921242009-10-22T16:32:20.547-04:002009-10-22T16:32:20.547-04:00Brenda, what lovely, lovely photos of what sounds ...Brenda, what lovely, lovely photos of what sounds to have been a lovely visit.

It was so nice meeting you also at the ISI conference - it's funny how you and Stephanie sort of "ran into me and my stroller" during the second general session.

Those fluffy flakes found their way to our house as well on Sunday. We are left wondering what type of winter it will be! I was thinking of you and the Clarksons, especially on Saturday when Sally spoke at the ISI conference. I'd love to hear a little bit about that if you get time. I'm sure it feels good to be back home!

The trip...New England is so beautiful in the fall. The trip sounds wonderful.<br /><br />If I were to envy any of it, it would be the drinking tea and coffee and chatting...however, a house stocked with books sounds great..going to church with family is precious...seeing the big snowflakes...but the best is being family. All of those things would've been nice by themselves, but with family they become a gift.<br /><br />Please tell your husband that I read the book "Bleak House" after watching a few episodes on TV a couple of years ago. It was the first Dickens book I ever finished and it was great. As much as I liked the video, the book was actually better, especially towards the end.carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04346285464750146290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-38815475858529532342009-10-22T09:54:18.313-04:002009-10-22T09:54:18.313-04:00Wow, sounds so very lovely!
