Grocery shop after meeting then home and get ready (change into my Western garb) to go to Oak Glen for the "Old Ways Days" Celebration in which I'm participating as a member of Western Writers of America by doing a book signing both today, and tomorrow. Drive up with Beth and arrive about 10:30 - and boy what a change in the weather. I wore shorts to the meeting this morning; up in Oak Glen (and it is up), it was cold and windy. I took along my goose down vest and even with that it was cold. Poor Beth - all she brought long was a light sweater. She was almost chattering, even when she was sitting under a gas heater. She finally went to the car and found a blanket we keep rolled up in there and the rest of the day she was fine. Our lunch was comped: pulled pork for me, chicken salad sand for her, plus Cowboy beans. Major Mitchell, another WWA writer was with me, as was David F. Matuszak who has compiled a wonderful book called, "The Cowboy Trail Guide to Westerns" - I bought one. We left at four and it took an hour to get home. Both of us checked mail and e-mail. I called Ed Mohler, she talked to her brother. Now, I suppose, we'll have something to eat then watch a recorded show on TV. Later ~
