The Party Is Over, But The Memories Live On

My husband, Ed, and I had a wonderful time at Mark Shurtleff's Book Launch party hosted by Valor Publishing Group. It was held at Barne's and Nobles in the Gateway Mall in Salt Lake City. What a wonderful event this was. I was so busy enjoying the music and readings and all the people that I neglected to take pictures of everyone. I did happen to snap a few, so thought I would share. If anyone took more and wants to share, I'd really appreciate. You all have my permission to copy these and use them wherever. Enjoy.


Mark Shurtleff reading the first chapter of his book,
"Am I Not a Man, The Dred Scott Story"
Brought tears and chills to the entire room.

After the party, a few of us went next door to the Tai restaurant. Oh, man was the food good . . . oh yeah, and the company was pretty awesome too.

And then, as if we didn't get enough of each other Tuesday night, we had to have lunch at Ali's house the next day. Tons of fun and girl chatter.
My poor hubby sat in on the whole thing and I must say he did pretty well. Thanks for being such a great supporter and loving my friends, sweetie. Love you!

We were so sad that Shanna Blythe and Shari Bird were not able to join us. Maybe next time.
