Lois Lowry!

Whoooooweeee! We got to visit Lowry at her house last week! Nov. 1. We saw her dog Alfie, and he was just adorable. If I ever got a dog I'm gonna get a Tibetan Terrier too. He was so quiet and friendly. When we were sitting in her living room, drinking tea and asking her questions, he would jump up beside us sometimes. And once he even cuddled up in my lap and kept licking my face! I was sooo happy. No dog was ever that friendly to me before.

We even had dinner at her house. We got to use her dishes, but the teacher had prepared a vegetarian lasagna: squash and spinach. She had also brought homemade bread, and even a carrot cake for dessert! Yum yum. But too much would've been too sweet and made me sick. I brought some almond tofu and other people brought dessert too, but that cake just made the other snacks paled.

We even got to use her bathroom on her study! I never thought using a bathroom would feel so special. I saw a Chinese version of The Giver on her bookshelf too.

It was such a nice night. The teacher even drove me home afterwards--right up to my door:)
