Hot Weekend!!!
Hot Weekend — Friends and books! What a great combination.





Lavender in the Village continues to be one of the best fairs we do. BUT IT WAS HOT! And we were inside. Rumor has it that there will be a new building next year. And yes, I got my lavender/lemon ice cream. Of course it was about 10am but I got it and it was soooo good. Thanks to Loretta Hall for running to get it. I also had at my booth Cindy Bacon. Her husband Frank is one of our authors and our balloon pilot. Cindy has killer art.



On Sunday, Collected Works Bookstore and Dorothy Massey hosted a fundraiser and thank-you to the community from the Carrillo’s. Nice!
