Oh, I LOVE her books! I've read all but the newest ones and even one of the Callahan Garrity ones. Y'all look like you had so much fun. I wished she'd have a book signing on this side of town. :) I hear Mary Kay/ KHT is a big yard sale hunter.
Thanks for sharing a fun time.

Sue, that looked like fun - you always do the most fun things. Linda buys or gets the books and then she passes them to me so that I can read them too.

Love, sandie

You live in the most interesting place! Imagine going to such a book launch....it would never happen here. I loved being part of it all here, and on Cheryl's post.

I have not read any of her books but some day I might just have to get one but first I have to get through the ones I have waiting. Looks as though you girls had a real fun night out.

I love Mary Kay Andrews books and have read just about all of them. I saw the new book at Kroger and looked it over but since I currently have a stack of books I want to read, I'll wait to buy this one when the paperback comes out. Cheap, huh?

Sue,
I just started a Fairfield House Blog Book Club. Where were you when I needed suggestions for the first read?! You certainly are keeping busy and having fun in Georgia. I will have to pick up one of Mary Kay Andrew's books. Are they a series? Is there a specific one I should start with?
Your Friend,
Deborah

Hi Sue, this looked like a fun event......love her books! I think I have everyone of them! The Foxtales gals are some of my favorite people. If you ever get a chance, they also throw a great book signing at their shop several times a month. Hope all is well with you. I haven't been blogging much in the past six months......been busy at the shop. I follow a few blogers on Facebook (Confessions of a Plate Addict) and hopped over today to read a few of my favorite blogs. So enjoyed your blogger luncheon in November. Thx for the invite. Stay in touch!

I SEE DEAD PEOPLE.........a Blog Pause.

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...

TIME OUT..........................

In the best interest of my left hand I find it necessary to take a short break from blogging.......that nasty staph infection has refused to go away and with no signs of it improving I need to stop using the computer......every time I go online to type the finger resembles W.C. Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!! See you all soon.....
