Diabetes Research Auction
Brenda Novak runs an on-line auction for diabetes research every year. It has been my pleasure to support her efforts for fund raising for several years. Check out her auction and see if there is anything that strikes your fancy (yes, I have an auction item!), or just plain donate, if that is your wish! http://www.brendanovak.com/auction.shtml.

A Dog’s Life
My books are going to the dogs! Traye Steele of Oklahoma City was at the May 11 signing to replace a book his dog, Winston, had eaten from his mother’s collection. His mom, Virginia Steele, is a cancer survivor. Lisa Pruitt of Bethany had me sign a book to her dog, Lola. It seems Lola has a taste for my books—so much so that she’s eaten two of them already! I couldn’t help but sign this book, “To Lola — I hope you enjoy this one as much as the others!”

Weather Show
Oklahoma City pulled out all the stops for me yesterday and brought on the most fantastic display of weather. I was greeted with twisters and hail the size of softballs. Instead of an interview with KFOR-TV, First News at 4:30 p.m. Read more
Oklahoma City
I had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend at home in Port Orchard this past weekend. I stored up all the grandkids hugs I could to last me through the end of the tour. It was so nice to just relax at home. We had gorgeous weather, too, with warm sunshine and big, fluffy clouds.

Happy Mother’s Day!
Tonight I’ll be home in Port Orchard just for the weekend. On Saturday I’ll be signing at the Gig Harbor Costco at noon and in Port Orchard at the Bethel Avenenue Book Company at 6 p.m., so do come and say Hi if you’re in the area!
Also on Saturday is the Rural Letter Carrier’s Food Drive. If you have any non-perishable food items you can share, it would be a big help to local food banks. Please give generously!

Modesto
The past two days have been amazing. So many of my readers are coming out for signings that I’m thrilled and overwhelmed with the response! One group of readers came in a bus with a sign taped on the side. I can’t recall exactly what it said, but the gist of it was “Debbie Macomber or bust!” I hope to receive a photo and will post it when I do.

Inspiring Stories
I meet the most amazing people during my signings and hear some wonderful stories. Sue, one of the women in line in Reno last Friday night, relayed to me this inspiring story. Sue was in line at her local grocery when she overhead that the woman ahead of her did not have enough money to pay for all her groceries. Inspired by my book, ONE SIMPLE ACT, Sue decided to make up the difference. In addition to that, because Sue thought the mother looked frazzled, she had the clerk add some chocolate, too!
