Pictures

Here are a few pictures of the writers hard at work on Bowen Island :)

Here we are in the beautiful gardens of the Old Dorm. Trust me, we were just about to write. Or maybe we'd just finished.

This is me at Snug Cove. Our path to dinner went right past this beautiful spot. Honest, we were writing hard before we left.

I was sitting at the table in the distance and, yes, I believe some pages were written just prior to photo.

Hey, it may look like it was all fun in the sun but we really did get lots of work done!

I've got a bag of books ready to mail off to the winner of my vacation contest. Where oh where have you gone? Do you have any pics or links?

Don't forget to post a comment about your favorite vacation spot, include a link to pictures if you can, and I'll put your name in a draw for some great summer reading material!

So Cool!


I really enjoyed my time on Bowen Island with friend Mary J. Forbes.

Dan the man who runs The Old Dorm B & B where we stayed, made sure we were well pampered and taken care of. We'd feast on his marvelous breakfast, write, wander the lagoon to visit the cantankerous swan that likes to bully the ducks and then return to write some more.There were only a few restaurants open mid-week on Bowen but we managed to try most for lunch or dinner and established Tuscany's as our favorite,just like it was when we visited a couple years ago.

It's been hard keeping up the writing schedule now that I'm home. Mostly because it is so darn HOT! We're having a heat wave and I am so NOT used to this kind of weather.

Sooo any advice to keep cool in a home without a/c?
