As many of you know, this was the first time most of the Alley Cats got to meet in person. Wendy, Sarah, Angie, Casey, Mary, and Pepper were in St. Louis- leaving Sherrinda, Krista, Cindy, and Julia to man the Alley on their own.
They did a fabulous job, btw.
Pepper, Mary, and Casey roomed together - with their new friend, Carol Moncado. The 11th floor would never be the same again.
It's a good things she dealt so well with middle-aged women like Pepper, Mary, and Carol.
Carol came prepared with SEVEN batches of cookies. SEVEN - and she handed them out to people (bribed them and such...you know, free internet access, book proposals...) Here she is with Ruth Logan Herne from Seekerville.
The banquet was wonderful. Opportunities to celebrate with fabulous authors like Laura Frantz, Janice Thompson, Brandylin Collins, Mary Connealy, Liz Curtis Higgs...and so many more.
Here's Rachel Hauck with Casey.
Here's Pepper with Janice Thompson.Here is a pic of a group of us with the Seekers! YAY!!
Here is Casey, Angie, and Mary during one of our meals. They are such lovely ladies inside and out!!!
Any conference questions or fun experiences you'd like to ask or share?
Blessings,

Oh, what I wouldn't give to see a Beastly Casey in the mornings! lol It is hard to imagine!!
Can't wait to hear more this week about the conference.
Yay! I love the pics. It looks like you all had a great time :)
Yay! I love pics too! I miss it all except for that terrible Post Conference LetDown. Not pleasant.
You all are so beautiful and it's obvious you had a blast!
And a bonus to having a blast--learned a lot, a lot, a lot.
For the record I am NOT beastly in the morning. Just cranky that I have to get up at such an indecent hour.
Sheesh. People and their hyperbole.
I was looking for the pic of me and Rachel this morning, then realized Pep had it, thanks for sharing here!
LOL...love all the pictures and thinking our Casey here must have had photos with half of the people there.
So, SO fun to see your pics and get a glimpse of the fun. Thanks for sharing a glimpse of your time there!
I am EXTREMELY SAD that I didn't get a cookie. :( I should have hung out in your room when Libby was asleep...oh wait, I was sleeping too! Just caught up on my sleep last night. It was so great to see you all!!
Lovely photos!
