Hi Friends, yesterday turned out to be a very busy day, but we did it!  We held our first ever book signing at The Farmhouse Coffee and Gary and I both felt it was successful.  Of course, we didn't know what to expect, but Barb Chapman, the owner of The Farmhouse Coffee, was a most gracious proprietor and kept the fabulous coffee beverages coming...cold and hot...along with snowcones, ice cream, cookies...you name it!

It was an awesome opportunity to meet with not only friends, but persons that read about the signing through the Almanac and just came to purchase a book and, in one case, to visit The Farmhouse for the first time!  My deepest appreciate goes out to my cheerleader, Jan Mackowiak and her husband, the talented Dave Mackowiak, for his background music and array of instruments that keeps us in awe of his abilities.  You're the best, Dave....and second to none.

I am getting additional interest in the women's retreat this October.  To God be the glory, friends.  It's going to be a terrific weekend full of laughter, girlfriends and friends to be made....along with a quaint setting in the town of Berkeley Springs.  God bless, my friends....may you enjoy an uplifting worship service tomorrow!
