Yesterday was the signing at Kaleidoscope Yarns in Essex Junction; I’ll add pictures in here when I get home. Â My fellow bloggers came: Karin drove all the way from Albany, NY; Paula came from Massachusetts; Amanda and her husband and son and then Sue, who sometimes sends me New Hampshire pictures since we used to live there, came from New Hampshire; Joyce was missed; Kristine and Joan came from closer by, and my mind is being terribly ungracious and blanking on someone–I’m sorry! Â Jill hosted us with warm smiles and homemade bread and cookies. Â Books were signed, stories were swapped, and a great time was had by all. Â I would add links if I knew how to open a second window on my daughter’s Mac.
It’s humbling in the extreme to have people–old online friends, to be sure, but still–take that kind of driving time and make that kind of effort to come to let us meet each other in person. I hope I lived up to their expectations, while feeling like, no, I really can’t do anything as wonderful at all as they did by comparison; but I am so, so grateful they did. Â Thank you everybody, and thank you, Jill. Â
Off to tour the Ben and Jerry’s plant in a few minutes…
