Borders express

To make a long story short. . .

My husband and I went to Town Center Mall on Saturday.

I looked over and saw Borders express!


"Oh, honey," I said. "Let's go see if they have Christmas Traditions."

Yes! I found it on the shelf with the other Christmas books! There it is, second from the left.


I was so excited to see the book. We just had to take pictures. Needless to say, we got a few looks from a few people. But I didn't care.


These pictures were taken with my husband's cell phone. We met a very nice lady and when she found out what we were doing she offered to get her son's camera and take pictures with it. I'm a little shy, it was her and my husband's idea, but I finally agreed. She went out into the mall and came back with the camera and her husband took the pictures.

We talked for a long time. She said my husband would make a great agent. I don't have their pictures yet, but I gave them my email address and they are going to send them to me. She said she had an idea for a children's book but didn't know if she'd ever try to write it or not.

It was a great! I found my book and met a very nice family all in the same day.

Just received the pictures took by my friends I met in the mall.
Here's one they took of me and my husband.

  8. Janet, I didn't realize you had a book published. Can you tell me your last name so I can look it up here in the local bookstore?

    Beautiful photos. You have all the right in the world to be proud.
