P-Dub was here!!

Yes the Pioneer Woman made her appearance in our lovely city! The scene was at Joseph Beth’s bookstore @ Southpark. The fans were out in full force! Ladies everywhere with the cameras, babies and wedge shoes.

The event started at 6 pm Friday evening and sweet Ree was still signing books til past 10 o’clock at night! Even so she was super sweet and gracious with each person that came to her table.

Here I am giving her some kind of enthralling information. I think from her face she’s thinking… wow this girl’s a little kooky!

Doesn’t it look like we could be such good pals!

She’s a super sweet – down to earth girl! It was so fun to meet her and the waiting around was pretty fun too. I met some really nice peeps. I had a lovely conversation with Leslie – a chocolatier here in NC. She brought PW some chocolates – lucky girl! Check out Leslie’s website here.

I really wanted to invite Ree over to the Lodge from some late night grub but I was chicken! I think she would have felt right at home with all the animals on the wall. And they have been known to have some “interesting” meats to serve up – although probably not any calves nuts.

Good Reads

I love to read; more now then ever before! I had a Barnes and Noble's gift card burning a hole in pocket, so off to the store I went! This is what I got...




I LOVE Francine Rivers. I have only read her fictional novels but had heard great things about her mixture of non-fiction and fiction books about different people in the Bible. This is depiction of 5 different ladies in the Lineage of Christ. REALLY GOOD so far!


I haven't started this one yet. It looked interesting and I read a good review on a blog. (can't remember which one now.) But I had a friend tell me she wasn't real impressed. Have you read this yet? What did you think??

This was given to me by my cousin. It's one of her favorites. I have no idea what it's about. Anyone read this one??

Now all I have to do is get my Christmas decorations done so I can relax and snuggle on my sofa with my books and read by the light of my pretty Christmas tree. That's my goal tonight!!

What are you reading? Any good ones that need to be on the "wish list?"
