Garage Sale

Maureen and I had a garage sale. I smuggled a bag of loot for the garage sale in the trunk without Tom knowing. I make $20. I set out some of my books and sold one. Maureen made $90. We took our money to the Gaylord where we edited my new book.

Barnes & Noble Book Signing

The Cartoon Character and I would like to thank everyone who supported my book signing on March 3rd. We met many interesting people and it was a pleasure talking to them.

Sam Houston Elementary

I visited some fourth grade classes at the Sam Houston Elementary School in Denton, Texas and I was very impressed with their knowledge of writing. I enjoyed answering their questions concerning editing, publishing and writing. I also read a segment from my book in progress to some of the students and enjoyed their comments.

Book Signing

I went to Barnes n Nobles where I will be doing a book signing on Wednesday, March 3rd from 4:30pm-7:30pm. I met with the manager and we discussed my book and where I would be doing the signing. http://store-locator.barnesandnoble.com/event/3030688

500 Miles

I learned the hard way to pack a survival kit when traveling with Tom. Our first 500 mile trip 45 years ago was from North Carolina to Sharpsville. It was a non- stop trip in a 56 Chevy. He filled up the gas tank and stopped at a grocery store and bought a pound of bologna, a pack of buns, and a six pack of pop. After a few hours I begged him to stop for lunch but he was full of bologna and wouldn’t stop. By the time we got home I wasn’t speaking to him. I came a long way since that first trip. Before we left Sharpsville for our twelve hundred mile trip to Texas; I packed a survival kit. It consisted of a dozen of oranges, crackers, cheese, protein bars, mixed nuts, water, orange juice, grape juice and vegetable juice. We left Sharpsville on Thursday and arrived at Texas on Saturday afternoon. We are still speaking.

Sharpsville to Denton

Denton had snow last week which is rare. We will be leaving snow hopefully it will be warmer. The 20 hour drive is the worse part. It will probably take two and a half days. Then book signings, shopping, and dining.

Book Signing in Texas

Well I’m heading for Texas the end of February to visit my daughter. She decided to schedule me some book signings while I am there. So on March 3rd I will be at the Barnes & Noble in the Denton Mall from 4:30pm-7:30pm. The “Cartoon Character” will be in the book store. Come and see if you can find the “Cartoon Character.”
