Barbecue and calla lillies

What a great day already! Had lunch at Port Cape with one of my great friends, Dr Loretta Prater and we talked about writing! Visited with Charles Wiles there who tried to get me to pay his ticket! Some things never change!

Then came home and got flowers from Edward Jones and Cheryl Mothes and Kathleen was here to do errands! Mailing out books!  It is a rewarding thing to see the three-year effort come down in the form of a book.  But am I going to do another one!  Hell will have to freeze over!

Tonight it is the big banquet!  Now I have to convince the powers that be to promote and sell the book or they will have no profits!   Promotion is everything!  I hope I can recognize people who buy books tonight with this cataracted eyes!
