Just returned from the "Bearly a Memory" show in Galax, VA. IT was a wonderful show. Slow sales but wonderful people and very well organized and fun. I had a long talk and a FUn time with Mindy Kinsey and spent almost an hour talking to John Lamb the writer of the teddy bear mysteries. He's just like his character, bigger than life and full of wonderful stories  bear_wub There's so much more I could talk about, but I just had to tell this traveling tale  :rolleyes:

THe trip home was exhausting. All total, more than 8 hours. When I got to the airport all I wanted to do is get a light dinner and a glass of wine. I had to sit at the bar and this little wirey guy sat next to me.  We got talking and I asked where he was going? He said he was going to see his mother who was 92 and had broken her leg. I said "Oh, no! is there anyone there who is taking care of her!?". He smiled and said she had told him that her boyfriend was staying with her. Then she made a STrong Point! She said "WE are NOT sleeping together, yet!"  :clap:  I hope I can make that statement at 92!
