Book Events for September

Our first book events for the fall are now scheduled in Bastrop for Sept. 24th at the Snyder Museum from 1-3 pm and at the Morehouse Parish Library on Sat. the 26th from 10:00 until noon. Thank you Ellen for inviting us to the library. It was great fun seeing and talking to you the day I visited. We have so many good memories from our high school days. I can't believe it has been so long since we graduated from BHS! I am looking forward to our book events there in Bastrop.

The Snyder Museum is going to be a wonderful place for another book event, and I have personally invited the Family History Club of Bastrop to come to one of our events that weekend. Thank you also to the ladies at the Bastrop Chamber of Commerce and the Visitors Center in Bastrop for displaying our book at their businesses so people will know about this book written by a local author. Mama is so happy to be back in Bastrop after living in Arkansas many years. I enjoy going back there to visit her and my sister and seeing school friends.

I am now working on October book events and will post them as dates are confirmed.

Going to Bastrop for a few days to see Mama

Now that we have been home for a while, it is time for me to go to Bastrop to see mama and my sister Judy. I know Judy will be going back to work soon, driving a schoolbus. This is the best time to visit them because Gil will be leaving on Friday morning for one of his prison ministries here in Arkansas. He got the trike out of the shop so he has wheels for his trip. One of us needs to be home with Sylvia because she has epilepsy and needs meds morning and night to prevent seizures. I will be back Thursday. It is also time to order more books and get back into scheduling some book events. I know Columbia wants us to come back in October, so I need to call the school there and see when we can set up that book event for the school kids.

It is good to be home.

We have been home almost a week now. It took several days to unload the RV, wash the clothes and get settled in. Gil has cleaned the inside and outside of the motorhome along with the outside compartments that had dust and dirt from a few gravel roads on the trip. He has turned his attention now to getting his trike fixed (which happened today) and the bike is also being worked on. Now at least he has one set of wheels for the prison ministry next week.

I will be going to Bastrop soon to visit mama and my sister. It has been hot here this week, in the 90s all week, some days in the high 90s. The humidity has been very high so that makes the heat index higher. We have a new date for our granddaughter's entrance into this world - Sept. 2nd so that is not very far away. Deb and Ed have everything they need at this time, but we do need to find a babybed for her once she outgrows the bassinet. They have decided to home-school Suzanne this year so there will be lots of changes at their house.
