We had such an enjoyable evening tonight! Mom, Dad, the kids and I traveled to Loogootee UMC to hear Mr. Philip Gulley speak and also do a book signing. Since the books I'd read of his were either Aunt Shirley's or checked out from the library.....we bought a book tonight so that he could sign it. He shared several stories that were so comical we were laughing out loud (which I found out later totally embarrassed Katy, but so what). It was so nice to meet the person who wrote the books I've loved reading. I thought, "His family probably thinks it's funny that people are taking his picture." He came over to where we were seated before the evening officially started and talked to us (esp. to Dad) for quite a while, in fact the 7:00 start time was delayed by about 15 min or so. Afterwards we went to Billy Bobe's pizza for a late supper. Yum! Chris sent over a basket of onion petals to our table on the house and they were delicious! Katy drove us there and back and if you ask her, that was probably the best part of her evening. I was embarrassed that she sat with us during the speaking and looked like she was constipated and hadn't had a good trip to the bathroom in 3 or 4 days. I really saw "the teenager" come out in full force. But the rest of us, including Evan had a wonderful time.
