My friend Roberta Hatcher’s poetry Book Release Party.  French Lessons  published by  Finishing Line Press

Roberta made all the food and brought it over before the party  (Delicious) and after the reading there were her homemade MadeleinesJulia Child’s Madeleines recipe -lemon, orange and chocolate and her homemade truffles. Friends and other Pittsburgh poets came, bringing wine and their willingness to have a great time!P

Here’s a poem from her book and previously published in Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Thank You for Crawling

I provided the venue.

She read beautifully and everyone had a wonderful time. Congratulations Roberta.

Local:What Feels Like Home

img_9880Jen H at WordPress has created the weekly Photo Challenge: Local.

What feels familiar, home. The places you know by heart. Local diner, local playground, local neighborhood, local church,local streets-I live in the city by a park.

I notice I shoot a lot of local coffee, too.

Here’s my iPhone local gallery.  Pittsburgh.
