Although a bit bleary eyed at this point, I will try to fill you in on the past weekend. I drove to PA on Thursday and set a new family record of nine hours! And no, I only went a steady 70 and actually increased my gas mileage.
Friday morning I returned to my alma mater, Lebanon Valley College. The campus is now so unbelievably beautiful; they have won awards for their landscaping. There are many new buildings, but the music and sciences continue to be strong programs. I spent over an hour with Lauren Cusick interviewing for an upcoming issue of the alumni magazine. I look forward to seeing and reading the finished piece.After I completed the interview, I went over to the college athletic fields where my great-niece Elizabeth was finishing up a week of soccer camp. It was hot and sunny, but great to hang with the family.
Friday night I had a book signing at the Gretna Emporium, hosted by Stacy Pennington and her great staff. I sat on the wrap around porch and watched the summer folks at the Jigger Shop - not to be missed when in Mt. Gretna - signed books, had my memory jogged a few times and spent time with family. It was a fine evening. Pictures soon.
Saturday morning I arrived to read at the library, to find that the children were otherwise occupied that morning and not coming for storyhour. Oh,well. Instead, I visited Mrs. Hernley's flower stand and bought the most beautiful glads for my sister, Kim, who takes me in whenever I visit!
Then it was off to Baltimore to my nephew Andy's wedding. My husband, Bob, flew down and met me and we enjoyed a great day with family and friends. We send our best wishes to Andy and Lauren as they begin their life together. Sunday we were up at six and on the road home to Maine.
We received a nice surprise when A Isn't for Fox was reviewed on a podcast on the site Just One More Book. I will attempt to add the link. I also appreciate a comment on the blog from Mrs. Wright stating that I need to have more info about what a great book it is. I am new at this, but will work on that aspect, whether it be a web site or some other form of promotion. As a basically introverted person, sometimes I have to gulp a few times before taking the next step:)
School visit brochures will be going out soon, so please let your friends in education know that I am available and reasonably priced!
