21 Great Things about This Summer and A Contest for You
Finding my old white cotton slacks
Fitting into them
Watching the pianist at Washington Square playing his baby grand
Two days in Canandaigua at a pool by the lake, two nights of huge ice cream cones
Tons of mail from FINDING MR. RIGHTSTEIN readers
Selling every copy at my Talking Leaves Books reading
Eating Ted’s hot dogs after with my Buffalo friends
And roast beef on kimmelweck for my other meals
My Just Buffalo Literary Center workshop—the attendees wrote so well
My Buffalo and Erie County Library talk on memoir writing
The woman in the first row who laughed. And laughed. And laughed
The support of my Buffalo people
The love of my family
My California visit
The dinner my daughter and son-in-law made the first night and our shared laughter
Our laughter at every meal and in between
Every moment with them and with my grandchildren at the pool, the beach, the farmers market, everywhere
Our snuggles and hugs
So much fun
So much good food
And still fitting into my old white cotton slacks.
