I'm going to have sooo much fun with this. <br /><br />Ann,<br />I'm going to have to do some brainstorming on what to wear in the parade. All suggestions are welcome!<br /><br />Jess,<br />I was a "river rat" before I wrote the book. I did a lot of whitewater canoeing back east in the 80s before I settled down and had kids, and I still go whitewater rafting at least once or twice a summer in Colorado. I love the thrill of riding rapids!<br /><br />Darrell, I wish you could be there, too. In fact, I wish ALL the MI gang could be there. :) And Alan, a sash would be great, wouldn't it? I'd wear it to future book signings.Beth Groundwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999372882748655834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-42404509699189377862011-05-19T12:11:31.393-04:002011-05-19T12:11:31.393-04:00Sounds like a great time!
