Happy Birthday Jane!
Today is Jane Yolen's 80th birthday! I sent her a hand-made card to mark the occasion:

And since Jane is at her US home now, a bunch of her Scottish writer friends gathered at her Scottish home in Wayside to throw a party in her honor. We gathered a feast of course, and Gill made a Clementine cake!![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_t4zjjX7gD1OHj_npjOJuRJdg4jfpWAc0Z4LkJpxfoyDSYaNTPPJQwrqEEdinkDPY_IWF1PxjuIQlDJt7BRAa7gf5hcj-rCXQhRXfg8PXJyd986mz9RsykDs8I=s0-d)
Here are Joan Lennon, Gill Arbuthnott, and Elizabeth Kerner talking about Jane (were your ears itching, Jane?).![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uqbIUWncXa72MnonQWuO6K4LoLOm9peZ9Kq3SbG8EEzx38QR-VFCz4Cr8WqsZNEx7WF2dip1Ho-WWTg1fg3L86iA5HpxzBesXBYp0ClX9YS1TNhPwl_ZsGifmggXkQgb8vN0pJanK-=s0-d)
And Mark Smith and Bob Harris.![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_u9U-06KWWz5M_5AP1eKvF7L_yHwiQ2BYmyqxKEnJDqvvjp3r2rDUaxD7E5x9oQNGHoh4qcxCS6ADqdeXEE7x2fxFP-PZnVmP4j6Jtsex3Do0wCNFYi-uf9ejoLM08=s0-d)
Of course I missed a photo of me and Debby (she's always behind a camera), but I did get one of 'the Elizabeths' - Jane has an unusually large amount of Elizabeths in her life. ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tPu2wWpjntnIx8pZdxXgCwWybpu5DVMgR-n3IT93-NpRngp9RS2tf_I0K7toGSQz6MmdTMWkz4GAExaYZnnr0VouDP-AFJ3ifM124wkBF3fIFloOxa-2VE99kxRcrYevY=s0-d)
And of course, we talked about books. BOOKS, BOOKS, BOOKS!!!! As is our wont. But mostly, we celebrated Jane and what a gift her 80 years have been to all of US. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JANE!!!
