DD#1 and I had a lovely visit with Malou and her hubby. Both of them are fun.
Then DD and I went to Cleveland to attend Bouchercon (mystery writers convention). We came home with about 40 books, most of them free and signed by the authors. There was a raffle and for $20 worth of tickets I won 4 prizes, one of which was a character naming. DD won the prize in the rock and roll trivia quiz. So we had a great time. If you like to read I reccommend you attend one as you get to listen to the author's thinking processes in panel discussions.
Next year it is in Albany, NY in September. Glad I retired so I can do lots of fun stuff.

Glad you had fun! I loved the time that I spent with Malou and Don in Branson! I bet you had some toffee too!

My awesome journal cover from Branson was made by Malou AND I had a great time at Malou's Cafe!!! Thanks so much for you & DH's hospitality in Branson! It was really great to get to meet you face to face!!!

You're welcome Terry, WQFC & toryam!
It was nice having you and DD visit Terry and we both enjoyed it. Congrats on all the winning and freebies you got at the convention!
As far as Branson, what fun we had hosting whomever wandered into the 'Cafe`'! It was nice getting to relax a bit and chat with fellow COFers!

And it was such an organized cafe to. Did you all see the plastic drawer thing on the counter with labels for what cookie were in each drawer? My sewing room isn't that organized! Or my house! LOL!! You and Don are the hostess with the mostess!!

can't imagine anyone having a bad time with Malou and Don - such great people. By the way did Don show you his vignette?? Looking forward to seeing you and Malou soon.

Ah,yes, Terry- hope Don showed you his vignettes
in the yard! Such a beautiful yard it is!! I bet with autumn colors from the trees, it's even prettier right now!

It will be good to see some of you in a few weeks!
