A Summer Shout Out
Hello Friends, Family, Fans, and anyone who may have landed here by mistake....
My last post was back in MAY! Crikey - who hit the fast forward button?! I can't believe summer is coming to an end. Unlike some parents who can't wait to send their kids back to school, I dread the thought. It makes me sad. And it makes me angry when Target puts out their school supplies around the 4th of July. That's just cruel. There should be a law against it. Just like they shouldn't be allowed to put out Christmas merchandise before Halloween.
Okay, enough of the cranky, old lady talk....I didn't come here to complain. I came here to tell you I will be at The Book Beat's 30th Anniversary Party on Sunday, August 19th, from 12:30-2:30 PM. There will be live music, prizes, and a taco truck. Tacos and books, people! The celebration will also include lots of great authors and illustrations. Visit The Book Beat's website for full details. http://www.thebookbeat.com/shop/index.php
The Book Beat is located at 26010 Greenfield, in Oak Park, Michigan.
I hope to see you there! If not, enjoy the rest of your summer. *sob*
