Opening ceremony

My husband and a friend from Church and I at the Opening Ceremony for Habitat for Humanities for Charley and Becky's new home in Molalla, Oregon.

Habitat for Humanities-Molalla, OR.

A wonderful little family is getting a new house. Charley and Becky have a 3-year-old son. They will be getting their first house through Habitat for Humanities. It is a wonderful program. The workers are all volunteers. I will be one of the volunteers in August 2012.

Charley and Becky are super happy (to say the least). Their little boy will have a nice home to grow up in in a quiet neighborhood. So very happy for them.

Summer horse ride

Getting my horse-fix. Riding through the Aspen Trees in the Rocky Mountains outside of Leadville, Colorado. This is what my husband and I did for the Fourth of July. Fun time!

SPRING FLING

This last weekend we had an event called: Spring Fling. It is a time when venders set up in the park, in the town of Molalla, and peddle their wares. I was their at the Author's Table peddling my books along with everyone else. Saturday was the best day. No rain, not too cold, and we had sun. Around these parts, SUN is a blessing. There was music and dancing. People went from booth to booth. Some purchased stuff from vendors, but some of the people just chatted with everyone. Most of the vendors I only see at events, so this was a good time to catch up with all that has gone on in their lives since we last met.  On Sunday, the rain came, we all said good-bye at the end of the day and planned on the next event where we will meet again.

It is always good to sell my books and to get positive feedback from those who have read my books. It is also great to visit with all.

Molalla is a town of supporting and caring people. That is why I love it here so much. I love them all and I know they love me back.

EVENT

Now that Winter is slowing down, things are starting to happen. The Ledding Library in Milwaukee, Oregon has asked me and my friend, Author L.Lee Shaw, to come and talk about our new books that are out. We will also set up a small table there to sell our books. Lee and I will be at the Ledding Library on April 19, 2012 at 6pm.

Hope to see you there,

Carrol
