Pinch me!

I was so honoured to meet
Lovella and Anneliese,
two of the authors of
The Mennonite Girls Can Cook
Celebrations book
which was launched
at Ten Thousand Villages in Waterloo!




What a thrill!





The celebrations for this beautiful
book started on the weekend in
the Abbotsford, British Columbia area.

Grab a cup of tea, find a cozy chair and
just to mention a few.....

Oh my!!!  I agree with Lovella "The Best Book Launch Ever!"


In addition to the busy weekend
These two beautiful ladies made a two day whirlwind
book signing tour in Ontario 
as well as being on Canada AM on Tuesday 
and taped an interview early this morning
on 100 Huntley Street
which will be aired on Friday, May 10th!

This was all done with such grace and joyfulness!

THANK YOU all for the beautiful flowers,
all of your signatures for my book,
and the kind words and hugs.

My cup is full and overflowing as I celebrate with you!!!!!







The flowers brightened my work space all day 
today and I'm still smiling!!!


Thank you Ruth for coming with me and taking pictures.  Should have taken one of you too!


Till next time ...... still pinching myself and feeling very blessed!!!

  7. OH...why did we not take a photo of you and Ruth? I'm so sorry we didn't do that.
    Rosella...I saved those most delicious mint chocolates for home and we are now just slowly nibbling away on them...so creamy smooth and delicious.
    I so enjoyed seeing you again. It was pure joy to know you would come walking in the door. I would love to do a road trip across Canada to see all our blogging friends.
