Mama and I attended our third book signing at the Schepis Museum in Columbia during the 2011 Art & Folk Festival there on Oct. 8th. Joining us this year was Janie Wilkins, former resident and native of Columbia. Janie signed and sold her books "Janie's Unblievable Journey" volumens 1 and 2 and was joned by her sister Mary French and son Eric Pierce.
It was a fantastic day for us all, visiting our hometown once again and taking photos of our favorite places, one of which was the First United Methodist Church, Circa 1910. Mama and I drove by my grandmother's house on Lakeside St., up to the family plot at the cemetery and down Pearl Street where we lived when I was a little girl.
The festival was very well attended this year and the weather was absolutely beautiful. Janie and Mama and I had friends greet us at the Museum. We had a great day for sales and a super visit with friends. Thanks to Janie, Mary and Eric for joining us on this special day.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Our last book event for 2008 which took place in Ft. Scott, Kansas, was a success in spite of the very low temperatures. It was 28 degrees warm that morning; as we had had two mornings of close to zero with wind chills that were unbelievable. We made new friends and had much family support. It was a great day and a great visit with Niemeirs for the Christmas holidays.
With the coming of 2009, I have been requested to schedule a book event with the Union County Genealogical Society at the Barton Library in El Dorado, Arkansas. So, mother and I will be there at the January 11th meeting. I know these folks will be interested in hearing about the era in which my mother lived during the Great Depression and WWII. No doubt some of them will have lived through those hard times as well. She will be able to give them her perspective of rural life on the farm in North Louisina. We look forward to this book event and making new friends in that community.
