Leaving on a Jet Plane

Our bags are packed and this morning Lovella and I are off to Toronto
for an early morning interview with CTV Canada AM -
to be aired live on Tuesday at 8:45 Eastern time.
We are nervous, but excited, with a long flight ahead to prepare our thoughts and
to reflect on the past weekend.


Our time as a whole group at Winks on Saturday was a day to remember and cherish!
 It was a book signing, garden party.


My biggest (teary) surprise was when my girls showed up!
Kristal with her beautiful mini cupcakes and Julene with her violin.
Other family members also came by to the beautiful little gift shop for the first time.


On Sunday after church we enjoyed an outdoor brunch at Lepp Farm Market before our book signing.


Some special little visitors came by once more.

When a mutual friend to three of us MGCCs came by
I wanted a photo for the sake of old time memories.
Thirty years ago we were all in the same "Young Marrieds" class!
Good Times they were. Those were truly the years we learned to care for one another
when babies were born, when a husband was diagnosed with cancer
 or when someone needed an invitation.


By the end of the weekend we were filled up with wonderful memories once more!
We are ten women with a purpose driven blog to inspire hospitality
and feed hungry children . . .
but sometimes we still take the time to just be girls having fun!

What a beautiful account of a most successful book launch. Moments of pure joy, tears, good food and fellowship and "racing". Hope your signing hands haven't gone completely numb yet!! Can't wait to see you in Waterloo! Safe travels.

You girls know how to have fun and to bless others! Sounds like a wonderful time...and so sweet that your girls and grands came by to show their love and support. I would have cried, too!
