I had been at Lorraine's, she was kindly nursing my evil illness. We made some salsa and guacamole
from items grown in the Garden, and shopped for cheese...
we drove into St. Paul to meet up with the tour, the night was being sponsored by
the fine people of the Red Balloon bookstore.
a very interesting gentleman Steve brought a femur for Neil to sign, (note the Bernie Wrightson signature, ooooooh)
i wish I had gotten a little more information on this entire-skeleton signing, anyone have details?
after Neil signed (with Dog's full attention on bone), he got a phone call which caused us all to jump and shout, The Graveyard Book hit #1 on the New York Times Children's list. !!! insert exclamation point here !!! i am so proud of you, boss...

Lorraine wrangled Dog and he rested in the back while Neil did his reading.
my aunt Athena and her Jim joined in the evening:
and finally here are the weary three at the very end of the run, Elyse & Brady bookend Neil.:
i fly home tomorrow.
next blog: Lady-cation....

Have a safe trip back (and REST).
Great salsa picture (a little intriguing) but I must say I don't go much for the cheese on display.
I'm feeling a little lactose intolerant just LOOKING at all of that cheese.
Quiche made the salsa and I made the guacamole.
you are very correct, S-law, we didn't get ANY of that cheese on display, i just marvelled at the endless dairy display.
Danth, let's see the long hair, buddy....!
Sorry, I couldn't take it and got a haircut yesterday! I am back to my short, short locks.
It looked something like this, though. ^_^
That is such a lovely hairdo, Dan...
(thanks for the giggles - good thing I wasn't drinking...)
I'm envying the signature femur...
Hope you made it home safe and sound. I also hope you don't have a relapse from the smoke in the air at home. :/
Take care of yourself.
And remember, you were at least near Wisconsin, which is the Dairy State. ;)
Dog. Joyful sleepy Dog. Nice photo of you, Kitty. Congratulations to the Boss for the new book and it's honors. DanGuy's longer hair is..uh... is. -p
Love the photos - I'm surprised Cabal wasn't stuck to Boss's side, although I guess the excitement wore him out.
Happy Birthday Miss Kitty
Not for lack of trying on Cabals part, I will tell you that! He finally gave up and went to sleep. It was all too much, he could HEAR Boss but not find him..
A FEMUR?!
Sorry I haven't been around -- in the hospital and haven't been able to get on the Internet until today! Must go check Neil's Journal.
