Want My Autograph??

Since I have been rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous (well maybe not that rich) I thought you might want my autograph. There were 16 Canadian authors here for the elementary conference, one being Sheree Fitch (Michelle, it's your job to find out the scoop on her). Another equally famous author is Marie Louise Gay. I had an amazing time chauffeuring Barbara and her husband Ian around. The day we drove up to Haines Junction was a spectacular Yukon fall day, warm, beautiful sunshine, vivid fall colours. They were both suitably impressed. It was interesting listening to their observations, Barbara viewing the scenery with artist eyes and Ian with photographer eyes. They really wanted to see some animals but none cooperated. They are touring around for one more week, going to Dawson City then Skagway-Haines loop. They should see some animals next week. I lent them a cooler and put in some recently picked and freshly baked cranberry loaf, a taste of the Yukon for them to enjoy. I'm going to catch up to Barbara and Ian next Friday to get the cooler back and have my collection of Barbara Reid books signed. As far as the house is concerned, I am really bummed out as our contractor is ditching us, atleast for the next 2 weeks, maybe more. Dad can fill you in, I just feel like shutting myself in a room and crying. I doubt very much we will be in before Christmas, never mind before I leave for Montreal. I want my house back (and my bed)!!! Nice to hear from you Peanut. Make sure you continue to use your good judgement as far as purchasing a house. I'm sure looking forward to Michelle and Nick coming for a visit. I need some cheering up. Love you lots, Mom
