Elko Days
Pat, Dad and I have arrived in Elko for the showcase of the Western Folklife Center, the annual Gathering.
We are looking forward to hanging out with old friends, making new ones, and mingling with the many talented folks who do "gather" here. Pat and my Dad participated in a cooking workshop put on by old friends. I am experiencing a poetry-writing workshop with the UniBlogger, Paul Zarzyski. We will help present programs (on sheepherder poetry--a very small genre, creative marketing of food products, and on the book, "Homeland") and get to attend others. I will have to remember that one isn't learning when one is talking! It is wonderful food for the mind.
I m especially looking forward to the presentation we "bloggers" will make, and the chance to get to know or reacquaint myself with our fellow travelers in the blogosphere. And I want to thank our daughter, Meghan, for holding down the fort in our absence! We are getting a few early lambs (virgin births, I think), so she has her hands full. Sadly, the photo posting part of the blog seems to be "down" so photos will follow.
