When we first started blogging way back in 2004, Mary Lee was one of the people who made it easy to take part in the larger kidlitosphere, namely that of Poetry Friday. Since we&#8217;re two novelists (and Sarah&#8217;s a professor), it&#8217;s not always in the cards for us to take part in Poetry Friday &#8211; or really, even reviewing books all the time, but we have loved reading and lurking and seeing all the wordsmiths at work. So as Poetry Friday celebrates one of its own, we offer our Best Wishes to Mary Lee! Congratulations on 37 years of teaching, and here&#8217;s to all the leisurely breakfasts that come next!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/writingya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/A-Toast.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1031\" height=\"578\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writingya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/A-Toast.png 1031w, https:\/\/writingya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/A-Toast-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/writingya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/A-Toast-1024x574.png 1024w, https:\/\/writingya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/A-Toast-768x431.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1031px) 100vw, 1031px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>M<\/b> is for the <i>many<\/i> times she made us<\/p>\n<p><b>A<\/b>bsolutely smarter than we were.<\/p>\n<p><b>R<\/b>arely do you come across such people &#8211; <\/p>\n<p><b>Y<\/b>our friendly blogging poet-whisperer!<\/p>\n<p><b>L<\/b>eaving aside her poetry and teaching,<\/p>\n<p><b>E<\/b>veryone knows: she&#8217;s just the nicest gal<\/p>\n<p><b>E<\/b>xuding calm and competence far-reaching<\/p>\n<p><b>MARY LEE<\/b> we love you, you&#8217;re our pal.<\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When our friend Jen passed along the invitation to join this party, we were more than happy to.
