A Visit with the Heart of Our Family
I’m on the road again, on my way to the great Knit-Out in Minneapolis with stops in Omaha, Nebraska and Aberdeen, South Dakota. I’m flying into Omaha to meet my wonderful cousin, Karen. Then the two of us are making a bee-line to visit my 98-year-old Aunt Betty in South Dakota. She is our sweetheart and the very heart of our family. From there we are driving to Minneapolis. I always enjoy meeting my readers, especially if they are knitters, too. While it might sound like a sacrifice to travel from warm, balmy Florida to the bitter cold of Minnesota, I feel I should mention that the Knit-Out takes place in the Mall of America. Yes, the largest shopping mall in the entire United States.

I can't wait for you to come back to Omaha for a signing. I was lucky enough to meet you when you came a couple years ago and am anxious for you to come back. Have a safe and fun trip :)

It's not THAT cold up here, right now. We are in the upper 30's! A few weeks ago, then we had cold. Have fun!

Safe travels & best wishes to Aunt Betty. 98 years old... she's a teacher's dream - living history first hand!
Debbie, you need to come to the Philadelphia area for a book signing. I'll get you hooked on scrapbooking. :-)

Debbie, how interesting to see you'll be visiting in Aberdeen, SD. I've visited there as well since I have relatives on my dad's side who have lived there for years!
Hope you come to St. Louis for a signing sometime soon.

Debbie that is so cool you are going to see your Aunt Betty that will be so nice for you. I hear you are coming to Omaha but that is not for a signing right? I seen you two years ago and it was wonderful I don't knit but I have started crocheting. You inspired me.

HI Debbie, I just want you to know that I finally can send you a message. My sister started to read your books & truly enjoys them. We both want to start knitting classes. Right now I'm reading "Someday Soon". I have a library of your books. Thanks for giving me so much joy & entertainment in my life. Your friend Gail Marie

Hi Debbie: How is Boggie doing? I hope someday you'll plan to visit your readers in Rochester, N.Y. You would truly make a lot of people very happy. I hope you have a great trip, & by the way be sure to take some pictures of the Mall of America. Your friend, Gail Marie
