Good morning!  Happiest of Tuesdays to you!  So much AWESOME is going on right now I hardly know where to begin. 😀 

Let’s see… the Her Voice Magazine came out this morning and my report on my friends Sky Diving Experience made the cover.  SQUEEEEE!!!!

And yesterday afternoon I was offered to speak on a panel at this years Book Expo in New York at the end of this month on “Engaging your Readers, Taking Your Writing To The Next Level”, a subject I am passionate about so I am SUPER Excited!

On Friday of this week our Friends Of The Library group will be a part of a ceremony dedicating a plaque to a Minnesota author Jon Hassler who passed away in 2008, and left an incredible legacy to Central Minnesota.  This plaque will be one of 4 that are in the state of Minnesota so this is quite an honor and we are thrilled to be a part of it.  I will have pictures of the event on this weekends Saturday Snapshot post.

 

And then…. tonight is Book Club!  YAY!!!  We are reviewing Molokai by Alan Brennert which is a fictional story set in Hawaii in the 1890’s and the leprosy outbreak including our main protagonist, an 8-year-old girl.  Our theme of course is Hawaii and I am making a side dish of Hawaiian sweet potato casserole and poi.  Yes… I am trying my hand at poi.

the resulting product should look like this:

Yes I think it looks nasty… this is more for the “yeah we have had poi” experience then my hopes of it tasting good.  I have my bag of taro root and I will be boiling them later today.  Yes, I will document the process. 😀

 

I took the day off of work today.  After the big garage sale two weeks ago now and this last weekends graduation of our son I have been running like crazy.  Today I will work on loving on my house and prepping for tonight with a little audio in between 😀
