The First Time. . .Priceless

I've been away from my blog for a while and held captive by doctors' appointments, drowned cars, and kids. When I wasn't looking for a replacement for our 2005 Corolla (yes, it would have lasted forever!), driving people or myself to the doctor, and getting my son back in the school groove, I was searching for Nirvana. I looked hard and long at estate sale after rummage sale for it. Maybe if I found just the right vintage handbag, life would be perfect. But for some reason, the supply of really special bags has all but dried up. So maybe finding just the right vintage fashion would give me ultimate peace. Two weeks ago I found a Bonnie Cashin raincoat. You would think that would do it. No. How about an extremely rare vintage handkerchief? That didn't do it either.

Then this week peace finally hit. It came in the form of a simple email: "I have good news. We would like to publish your book!" It was from an editor who wants to publish my picture book. MY book.

Picture me. . .happy!
