The trip from California to Northern Maine has been an adventure. Covered many miles making many new friends. I will admit to many sleepless nights wondering if the books would ever arrive.
They made the Port of New York July 4th weekend. Being a holiday weekend, it was a waiting game again. Finally, Tuesday, July 6th they were unloaded, put through customs and safely loaded on a truck bound for Boston. In Boston they were transferred to another truck and transported to Mailings Unlimited in Portland, Maine. This is the distribution center from which all the Amazon.com and larger orders will be shipped.
Thursday, July 15, I picked up 240 books and headed to northern Maine for my scheduled book signings and to hand deliever promised books. My first stop was the
Maine Historical Society in Portland to complete their order. I have to admit, I so enjoy seeing a buye'rs reaction when they see the book for the first time, then actually open it. I giggle with excitement.
The past week has been so much fun! The Island Falls Summer Fest, when everyone returns home for a week full of fun. And the all important Alumni Banquet. If you graduated from Island Falls High School, are married someone who did or are friends of someone who graduated, you may go. We always honor the oldest graduate and Clara Hathaway, born Feb 5, 103 years ago, again got the honor. What a beautiful, elegant lady. We all treasure her. God Bless you my friend. I love you.
