Saturday’s stop in Clarksville, GA was fabulous, hosted by A Twisted Skein.  Thank you, Jan!  I met some wonderful people.  How can you beat books and yarn in one spot?  Clarksville is not a huge town, so it’s easy to pick out strangers.  Wayne and I were obviously not locals, and I got a huge kick out of a teenager’s question when we stopped at a small café in down own Clarksville, “Are you here for the big signing?” 

Earlier today I stopped off at two yarn stores in Fort Wayne, IN:  a terrific shop called Knitting Off Broadway, where I found the cutest horse buttons for my horse-crazy grandson, Isaiah.  I also stopped at Sarah Jane’s Yarn Shoppe, named after a grandmother who was an avid knitter.  Sarah Jane already has a picture of me on her website–you guys are amazing!

I exceeded my own record today for the longest signing: I signed for four hours at the Meijer grocery in Fort Wayne.  My readers are incredible, driving three to four hours to see me and waiting in long lines.  One gentleman stood in line three-and-a-half hours to get a book signed for his wife.  You all amaze and inspire me!
