Love the pictures, Mona. You look wonderful, and I reall am sorry to have missed the Heartbeat luncheon! Plus you have the cutest granddaughters. :)
Thanks for sharing your RWA conference pictures. May that RITA one day be yours!
I loved meeting you at National, Mona, and purchasing your book besides. Cannot wait to read it.
Thanks for posting these pictures. I thought RWA 2010, with all of its trials and tribulations to pull it off, was one of the best.
Wishing you continued success!!!
Lovely! Your granddaughters are sooooo cute.
Mona, Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures. You all look so great. I didn't know you knew, Beth. We met in Atlanta working the literacy set-up together. I was so happy for her. One day, lady, you'll have your Rita. Can I hold it?
Great photos, Mona. You captured it well.
Patrice
Looks like everyone had a good time! The Dolphin is a beautiful place, totally picture-worthy!
Mona, your smile radiates with happiness. And the granddaughters are so cute. I'm glad you had a wonderful time at the conference.
Was that your first book signing?
Mona, I love these pics. What a wonderful assortment you took. The hotel is gorgeous. Wowwwwww....Your granddaughters are precious and you look beautiful.
Mona, the girls are knockouts like their grandma. Thanks for sharing your photos. You really got around and had fun, didn't you?
The outside of the hotel looks beautiful! Sounds like you had a great time, Mona.

HI, MONA! I enjoyed the photos so much--love to see other authors at big events. You're in good company there, or maybe I should say THEY'RE in good company. Your grandaughters are gorgeous little things--how lucky you are. Celia
Helen, glad you stopped by.
Lynne, we missed you so much at the Heartbeat luncheon. The Rita will be your first.
Donnell, I was so happy to meet you. Thanks for buying my book. I hope you had fun at the conference.
Barbara, I looked for a picture with you but apparently we were too busy chatting and forgot to take pictures.
Autumn, I met Beth at RWA in San Francisco. I can't wait to meet you too. One day, maybe we will hold each other's Rita. LOL
Patrice, you were so sick at RWA, you poor thing. I don't know if you even enjoyed it.
Toni, thank ypu for stopping by. The Dolphin and Swan are super. One of a kind resort.
Pam, it was my first signing at a RWA conference but I had local signings with the FRW chapter.
Beth, my granddaughters had a blast. They were in the pool all morning and in the boat going to the boardwalk in the evening. We had trouble putting them to bed, the nanni and I. I took them to the lobby of the Dolphins to watch the writers in their formal attires. The girls went from one lady to another telling them they look very beautiful.
Mary, don't you see how I admire you hair and skin? Wish I knew your secret or had good genes.
Morgan, the two hotels were fabulous, wonderful for a great vacation.
Celia, I wish you were there. I hope to meet you soon.
Great pictures Mona, someday that award will be yours!!
The little ones are adorable!!
Mary, I hope you will meet my little dolls the next time they are in Florida. They are so cute.
I enjoyed the pictures of the convention, Mona. Thank you for sharing!

Great pictures, Mona! It looks like you had a fabulous time! Aren't your granddaughters just beautiful!
:)
Sharon
Mona, it was so nice to meet you in person at National! You looked so impressive sitting there signing your book at the literacy signing! What a thrill it was to see a fuzzy there signing. Next year we will have many more to sign, I hope. You granddaughters are lovely. I know you enjoy having them with you. With a nanni to take care of them, it gave you freedom to enjoy the conference. I now have two little granddaughters! The newest is two weeks old today!
Maggie, I wish you were there. Glad you like the pictures.
Sharon, glad you like the pictures. My granddaughters are adorable. You should hear talking. They'll convince you they know everything. LOL
Scarlet, I was so happy tpo meet you. We had a great time.
Fabulous memories and photos, Mona. I especially loved the pictures of your grandchildren. They are precious, and must have been very proud of you.
Joanne, I miss you at this RWA. Maybe next year.
Mona with your smile is radiant and you are lovely! You make others feel good with your exuberance.
I appreciate your comments about my hair and skin. At my age those comments are much appreciated. I do have good genes, both Mama and Daddy had great skin until the died.
I'd be glad to share my skincare products but I don't do a lot. I don't experiment with my skin and I don't use new products because my skin is sensitive.
Thanks so much, Mona, for sharing your pictures. It makes the whole time come alive. You look great and your granddaughters are adorable! So glad you had such a good time!
Mona - I'm so jealous. Your granddaughters are just little darlings. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Looks like great fun! Wish I could have been there. Great photos, Mona.
Mary M. I wanted every one to know how great you look. Products have nothing to do with it. I used and still am so many to no avail.
Judy, I was happy to share my pictures and good time with my friends who couldn't attend the RWA in Orlando.
P.L. I wish you could have seen my little darlings. Imagine they played with the rotating door of the hotel and turned it around for Nora Roberts. She stopped to chat with them. I wish I had my camera.
Nightingale, glad you enjoyed the pictures. I wish you were there too.
Great pictures, Mona! I think I'd be tempted to skip the conference and just enjoy that magnificent pool!
