Cay asked me to post that she arrived safely home from the Kansas City conference. In her words:

I made it back safe and sound (just tired), but my digital camera is still lost. The conference was great. The people were all so sweet. I have some unpacking to do and have teenagers to talk to.

She'll be back to the forum soon.

Thank you, Margot.

My dh found my camera...

...under the driver's seat.

Go figure.

It took St. Anthony awhile to come through. Guess he was busy this past week.

So I got my dh's new truck home in one piece. I got his children home in one piece. I got his wife home in one piece.

And I didn't lose his two sets of keys or my cell phone.

It's all good.

I didn't get any pictures at the conference

because the camera turned up missing right after Independance, KS. But, within that camera, were our Little House pictures. So I am thankful. Very thankful.

Thank you for all the prayers. God bless.

I'm glad you found that camera, Cay! It was lovely to meet you in person. I have to tell you that your talk about Zelie Martin was so powerful for me. I've ordered the book and recommended it to a dear friend who lost a daughter to a brain tumor three years ago, and has recently had some severe sorrows. When I told her about what you shared about Zelie's life, she KNEW there was a mother in heaven who understood her. So your talk has blessed someone who wasn't even there.

Come on back to Kansas anytime--Chari and her wonderful children stayed with us, and all of you would sure be welcome!

Maria,
The book I recommended (along with some others on St. Therese's family) is Story of a Family by Fr. Stephane-Joseph Piat (published by Tan).

Yes, they taped the talks.

Here's the link: http://www.kccatholichomeschooler.org/speakertalks.htm of the speaker's talks.

They have a contact link you can email to see how to order them.

The Lacemaker's Talk was well-received and I even had a dad come talk to me with some questions afterwards

. I don't know why I thought this was so cool

but for a dad to come over after the talk really made me feel that I had touched some hearts. And that's what it's all about.

I knew the women would relate. But for a dad to relate was awesome.

I really do plan to finish my book "The Lacemaker's Shop" one day soon. I'm hoping.

If anyone would like the handout sheets, PM me your private email addy and I'll forward it to you.

Mary Alice, here's another

. It was so nice to meet and talk with you. Thank you for letting me know about your friend. I'll keep her in my prayers.

Cay,
I enjoyed getting to meet you and enjoyed your presentations! (The one I purchased on tape.) I've spent a couple of late nights trying to absorb all the great information in you're Literature Alive book. Hope to include much of the suggestions in our third year of homeschooling. We are still "finding our way", what's best for our family and such. Looking forward to using Catholic Mosiac also.

Glad you found the camera and you made it safe and sound back to LA! I may have questions once I start trying to implement some of the great ideas.
