Welcome Carolyn

Please come in dear Carolyn. I am thoroughly delighted. Since I heard that you were coming I’ve been happily excited. It was so kind of Michael to arrange that we should meet. You’re exactly as I pictured you, both beautiful and sweet. Let’s have coffee in my garden underneath the cloudless sky. It’s April in my Northwest home. We’re so lucky it is dry. The tulip tours have started, as has salmon fishing season. The nearby Skagit holds the big ones, catching one’s not out of reason. We’ll have our lunch and then start touring Skagit Valley tulip farms. I want to show you quaint LaConner and explore all of it charms. By: Joyce Johnson lLWon first place Welcoming Carolyn Devonshire in Michaels's "First Words Over Coffee" contest.

Carolyn has written a lot of poems about fishing and I saw her comment below so I know she would enjoy a visit with you Joyce. I would like to enter this contest also but I haven't met too many people here yet. Two jobs keep me busy. This is a nice tribute. Good luck in the contest. Best to you, Diane

Dear, dear Joyce! How much I would enjoy visiting you to see LaConner and maybe do a little salmon fishing! I haven't written yet for this contest, but I am touched by your words. Would really like to meet you one day and tour the Skagit Valley tulip farms in early spring. I'd love to see you win this contest! Love, Carolyn (Favorite for me of course)

after reading this, it makes me wonder, what if all the poets on soup could get together. this was a great piece to write about, and i bet it made carolyn really happy.
