Today Poets on the Loose were “on the loose” at the Carleton Place Farmers Market and they might come again. Thank you Mary Lou van Schaik, Susan Fisher and  Maureen McGahey. They were quite fabulous, you have to admit. But, where I can I find Mary the Hugging Queen of Carleton Place?

I met Mary today for the first time and she told me why she hugs people and she made me smile. Years ago I wrote for a blogging site and was mocked for signing all my comments with a huggggg. Most people that know me in real life know that I am real-life hugger like Mary.

So where is Mary and how do I get in touch with her- or is she just a good will faerie that lives in our imagination?
