Atlanta Pics
Written by Anne Mallory in Jaunty Post
Whew. Just flew back from conference a few hours ago, and boy am I exhausted. Exhilarated, but exhausted. I think it’s safe to say we all had a fantastic time seeing each other and giving our combined workshop. And even better, we got to meet some of the Jaunty posters - like Andrea, Lacey and Crystal! - though I missed Crystal!
I tried to find y’all after the signing, but ended up wandering around the Grandstand Lounge and Garden Level to no avail. I knew I should have grabbed Jenna to reaffirm the location before running out of the signing to hit the loo - the three hours got me! But I’m looking forward to seeing the pictures from the get together.
Here are some pics from this weekend. Can’t wait to see everyone’s!

Kimberly Logan Says:
Anne, thanks so much for including me in the JQ pic. It feels as if I were really there. Sniff-sniff.
Love the hat at the literacy autographing, Shirley!
Margo Maguire Says:
We missed you, Kim!
Thanks so much for posting the pictures, Anne - great memories of Atlanta. Well, great except for the five d*mn pounds I gained! What was all that talk about the calories you eat at conference not counting?
AndreaW Says:
Great pictures, Anne! I’m so glad that everyone had such a wonderful time in Atlanta!
It was so nice to meet all of you. Y’all look lovely all dressed up for the Avon dinner.
Jenna Petersen Says:
Great pictures, Anne! I’m slowly getting mine up, too. It was fun seeing everyone, but I’m sorry you missed us Anne! BUMMER! We were sitting in the lounge area on the Garden Level right in front of the elevators.
My fault!!
Robyn DeHart Says:
It was a great conference. And hanging out with the Jaunties was the best. Andrea, it was so cool meeting you and your sister. Great pictures, Anne.
Cute feet…;-)
Shana Says:
You rock, Anne! Thanks for posting those pictures!
I need to start downloading mine…
Manuelita Says:
Great pictures! You all look like you’re having a great time. OK, now I want to see RITA night pictures, please, and all your glamorous outfits!
Isabel Says:
Love the pics, girls.
Lacey Kaye Says:
HOW awesome do you girls look?! It was SO much fun. You ladies were so nice and I just loved every minute of it. I can’t wait for Dallas!
Crystal Says:
Great pictures, everyone looks gorgeous.
Anne, I hate that I missed you. I actually missed quite a few authors I was hoping to meet. And you guys were even in alphabetical order!! I don’t think I *do* crowds very well. Next time I’m bringing a check list.
Haven Rich Says:
Ok, now it’s really getting bad…you know that little green monster. Well envy in check here, it looks like ya’ll had a wonderful time and looked beautiful while doing it.
Ok envy out of check…I’m sooo going next year.
p.s. can’t wait to see more pics.
Jenna Petersen Says:
I’ve got all of mine (except a couple people are sending to me) up at Passionate Pen now! And there are several Jaunties in the mix!
They’re over at Passionate Pen in the ATL Day by Day article!
Shirley Karr Says:
I’m guessing those are Robyn’s toes…
I almost didn’t wear the hat, but my four roomies (yes, there were 5 of us in one room, and we’re still all friends) convinced me to let my inner extrovert out to play for the night. Too bad you can’t see the breeches and bucket-top boots. I’ve gotten as far as uploading my pics to my hard drive, but haven’t put them up on my web site yet.
It was so cool to meet people in person, after conversing with them on the boards!
Anne, thanks so much for posting these images.
