I have a break in my tour so I can spend  Mother’s Day in Port Orchard.  Today my daughters accompanied me to the signing in Redmond, WA—what a great time it was, despite the rain we had on the way home!  Tomorrow we’re planning a big family BBQ—rain or shine.   Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers!

I’ve been enjoying my time on the road and meeting lots of wonderful readers.   The events in Atlanta and Omaha were great (there was knitting involved!).  My great Aunt Betty Stierwalt, who is 100 years young, traveled from Aberdeen SD to Omaha to join in the fun.  Look for a great picture of Aunt Betty & me soon.

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!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers.  I’m looking forward to spending this special day with my family, and I hope you are able to do so, as well.
