Mother’s Day Wishes (and a little bit of news)
Today I had my second booksigning at the Newport News Borders with Judi McCoy. We had a very nice turnout with co-workers who came to see me, parents of some students, and even a former student of mine who is now a junior in college and is an English major. I really enjoy seeing former students and finding out what happened to them. It means a lot when they take the time to come and say hello.
Another surprise guest was someone visiting from out of town who went out on a few dates with my father. Neither of us knew each other, but when she saw my dad (who had come in with my mom to help out with the kids while my husband was out of town), we discovered the connection. It was amazing to see what a small world it really is.
Judi and I gave out red carnations to customers in honor of Mother’s Day, and I think the kids enjoyed giving a flower to their mothers as well. Also, since it’s Mother’s Day, I wanted to announce a little news of my own. I am going to be a mother again for the third time. This time, I’m not going to find out whether it’s a boy or a girl, but I’d like to be surprised. The baby is due around the end of November, near Thanksgiving (I am not cooking this year!). 
Anyway, I’d like to wish all of the mothers a very Happy Mother’s Day, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend!

I’m excited about it. Hopefully I’ll adjust from 2 kids to 3 without any major catastrophes.

Michelle, congratulations on your wonderful news — a new baby! You looked fabulous in your photo — that glow of pregnancy!
My niece, Jessica, is due today (5/14/07), so I’m going to be staying close to the phone, as she’s in Maine and I’m in Florida.
I hope that your book signing went well and you sold all your books again!
