Jen tells me we have some confusion over who actually won the contest. We doubled checked, identified the original winner, and sent her an email. Sorry about the mix-up–next time, I guess we’ll need more identifying details upfront. Still working the kinks out of the process, but if you’re not THE Kathie, please don’t worry. There’s another contest starting–right now. 🙂 ONE winner will receive a signed book and another of my sister Pam’s beautiful bracelets.
What is your all-time favorite book, and why is it so memorable to you? (Hint: it doesn’t have to be one of mine.)
On to another subject–it seems to be a slow writing week–I get those sometimes. I will say that I LOVE this book. (I know, I always say that, and it’s always true!)
Received a delightful package yesterday–the watercolor painting of James Arness, as Matt Dillon, I bought from my friend Buck Taylor, at Cowboy Christmas. Lo and behold, my friend and publicist, Nancy Berland, had sneaked into the booth and bought me a Miss Kitty portrait to match! Both are part of a Dad-tribute, very special to me. Dad, a town marshal, pretty much worked 24/7, but he always managed to get home in time to watch “Gunsmoke” on Saturday nights.
Of course, for those of us who loved TV westerns, Matt Dillon was not just a cowboy-cop, he was an icon, right up there with the Duke.
The seed catalogs are arriving, and I devour them avidly as I do my art magazines. The names, colors! Who knew there was a peach colored sunflower??? It’s called Peach Passion (botanicalinterests.com) and I’m going to grow some for sure. Maybe we ought to push the fence out a ways and make more room.
For today, that’s the news from the Triple L.
