On Monday evening at 7 pm the Mennonite Girls Can Cook went to House of James for our book launch party and book signing.
Arriving early, we were met with a parking lot full of cars and a group hanging out by the signing table.
Friends and family who already had their book signed ..
came to be there for what they understood would be a special time for us.
It was truly quite wonderful to see a room full of people opening their books for the first time all around the room. . .
reading and talking together with friends.
They even had a viewing area for those that had mixed feelings about what really mattered on Monday night.
They listened to me talk about how the blog and book began. .
and we entertained questions to the "panel" of girls.
Once there were no more books available to sign. .
we signed the towel of the event that we were competing for attention that night.
all for now. .
What a schedule you all have these days! I'd have passed up the game any day - and it looks like lots did!
ReplyDeleteOh? Was there a playoff hockey game that night? Who knew?

ReplyDeleteIt has been soooo much fun to read here, and at Judy's, and at Ellen's to get each different take on the event. It looks as if you gals had a wonderful turnout for this one and it is very exciting that you sold out of books and had to sign t-shirts. Pretty incredible.
Love the photo of you and Terry, too.
It was a wonderful evening!
