Lucy and Laura are in California , hopefully enjoying some top quality spring weather. We’re back here welcoming the daffodils with happy white confetti falling from the clouds [a very reliable source informed me that we have not had this crazy cold sort of April since 1892].

Usually when Lucy and Laura are gone, we all go into “not-quite-as-amazingly-productive-mode,” but this time around Frank and Austin have decided to kick things into high spring-cleaning-gear. Austin rearranged his whole office, and now has a comfy chair in one corner so visitors will feel more welcome. Frank has turned our room into less of a storage unit and more of a cheery, organized office. Maybe now the creative juices will start flowing in the form of book covers for Face to Face (my very favorite book ever), Angels in the Architecture, etc. In the meantime, we are all looking forward to having L& L back in the office, and can’t wait to hear the reports about their kicking-back-on-the-beach time and selling books at the conference. Happy Friday!
