Months ago, an author from New Zealand, wrote to our library saying she would be in town for a few days and would we like her to speak about her books.  The scheduling didn't work but I suggested we 'play' while she was here.  Jane agreed and we had a wonderful day.

Jane has an informative website about herself and her books http://janebeckenham.com/

While Jane's husband, Neil, was engrossed in an Early Ford Car Show, we spent the day, lakeside.  Lunch was at the Beacon in Camp Richardson.

It only made sense that we would visit Emerald Bay and Vikingsholm, since we only had a few hours together.  I wanted her to enjoy my favorite spot on the Lake.

What a delightful, interesting and easy to be around woman.  We both had a wonderful time together.
