"And miles to go before I sleep..."

I always liked that line from one of the most lovely poems ever written. It sums up my life perfectly. My life as it stands I guess. 

My poor little Subaru sedan has more than 200,000 miles on it and I just paid $932 dollars to keep it running. I NEED to keep it going. My event schedule is PACKED.

The photos are from last weekend's book signing in Park Rapids, Minnesota. Beagle Books and the fine women who own and run it were absolutely wonderful and so incredibly gracious and a good deal of books were sold. I wasn't sure who would come to see me in Park Rapids, which is about three and a half hours away from Minneapolis- St. Paul. 

I was a little concerned because Highway 61 is NO WHERE near Park Rapids but the reach of Minnesota Public Radio allayed my fears. Lots of people were there and were excited to meet me. That is such a kick to be able to meet people who listen to me and like what I'm doing.  I've said this before, but the great thing about being on the road is the chance meetings that can occur. I'll write more about the surprise I had in Park Rapids at a different time.  Let's just say it had to do with six women from Sioux Falls and a glass of wine! :)

By the way, I wanted to show the necklace I bought at the store because I think it is so beautiful. The beads are handmade by a local woman who clearly has incredible talent. 

In addition to Park Rapids, since I last checked in, I've been at events and signings in Duluth, Cambridge, Apple Valley, Sandstone and several in Minneapolis. Memorial Day weekend, I'm off to Hibbing--home of Mr. Highway 61 himself---Bob Dylan. 

I'm going to have to find myself a new car!!

Safe travels everyone!
