I just watched the news and there were so many doom and gloom predictions for Tuesday and beyond. So use this weekend to get ready.

Shop for books for you and gifts. That way if you have to hold–up, you can READ – what a novel idea! If you read you can also tune out the election. 8 out of 10 people say they are now repulsed by the election. I am too – I have had enough!

We are optimistic and have a number of events planned for next weekend. Pat Hodapp will be meeting and greeting and signing the Santa Fe Bucket List book next Friday at Kim’s Hallmark in Santa Fe. Pat and Barbe are at Op Cit in Santa Fe, on Saturday at De Vargas Mall at 1pm. You also see all of our books – Bucket List books and all – all day at the Balloon Museum Holiday Fair in Albuquerque on Sunday, November13. There is free admission all day! What a deal! Get into the spirit!

The election will be behind us. Now get in the spirit next weekend!
