Wow . . I just got to read most of the writing entries! Some of you read a different date for submission and that's OK as I am open to receiving them still. For those of you who did submit already . . WOW! What a group of writers we have this year! I was surprised, humbled and so happy to be part of this group! There are phrases and written pictures among them you will never forget. I got a peak at some of the art too. . WOW. Relax and rest up for Friday the opening night as your "eyes will bug out" to quote Randy Newman.

Thank you all for being so diligent and so spontaneous. Linda
