Vickey and I have this reputation of staying up all night talking and laughing at ALA. We couldn't help ourselves since usually it had been several months or a year since we had seen each other. So much to talk about...The conference, our work lives, our personal lives, dreams, stories about our kids and husbands...that lasted until 3 or 4 in the morning.

After that, the laughing would begin... Dorothy Potter once shared a room with us and vowed that she would never do it again! The word got around and then no one would share our room. Just Vickey and me...laughing until dawn.
