My former SHS colleagues, Pat and Dwight Smith were the first to show up at Bob Green's BookPeople in Moscow. Of course they had a basketball game to attend. GO COUGS! Right, Dwight?
When you see people with whom you've worked, people you've taught, people with whom you started the first grade, people who've happened into your life and stay put as all-time favorites, people who have taught you, people you babysat, people who knew you when you were knee high to a purty horse, people who are family members, people who came to your slumber parties, along with a bunch of people you've never met before----and you sell a few books, it's a pretty good day.
I had a great day yesterday.
The roads were clear and dry, even though it was obvious from the scalped snowbanks north of Worley, there had been some drifting. The drive to and from Moscow and Lewiston went without incident. I did switch into 4-wheel drive while maneuvering the side streets in Moscow and Plummer.
I also felt kinda stupid wearing my boots into Hastings at Lewiston, where the ground is bare, Russ Gee is raking leaves and his daffodils are peeping about an inch above the ground.
Oh well, nobody seemed to care cuz there was a lot of good visiting going on throughout both book signings. A very special thanks to everyone who came to both events.
You made my day. Great stories swapped and wonderful memories to cherish.
