I know that I'm certainly looking forward to meeting so many Boomers at Book 'Em in October....I'll be so excited to share a table there with our Queen JJ and having a chance to chat in person with so many Boomer Babes. Dotsie enjoy your meeting with Danita tomorrow and Dee I'm sure you will enjoy meeting JJ at the signing.

Hey girls,
Well, she's a doll...just love her. She was, of course, on a computer when I sneaked up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder. She has a lovely personality and I'm supposed to say she's really, really sexy looking. I bought her book and she signed it for me...I plan on selling it on ebay one day for a huge amount of money..LOL. For those of you who will be meeting our JAWJAW, you're going to love her. I wasn't able to meet with her as long as I would have liked to, but I felt like I'd met an old friend. I met Nancy and one of her friends from here in Mobile. It's a small world and my life has been so enriched since joining boomerwomenspeak. Yes, it's fun meeting folks you only get to speak to via this venue...when you can put a face and voice to a typed message it's awesome. All I can say ladies, if you get a chance to meet one another, do it. It's a wonderful, maybe a once in a lifetime moment, well worth it. JAWJAW...you are awesome!!!!!!!

I already love JJ, though I'm 'way out West and am not sure we will ever meet. But I feel the love emanating all the way from her state to mine. And her book had me chuckling into the wee hours.
Love 'ya, gal, Erica

Yuhoooooooo...Honeyyyyy, I'm homeeeee...
Dee is the cutest thang. She's pretty inside and out. I can vouche for that! I was thrilled when she came up behind me and tapped me on the shoulder! I was checking email (of course) in a coffee shop adjacent to the book store. I was so tickled! Although she didn't get to stay that long, we bonded immediately and I can't wait to see her again! I've been invited by another group to speak in February, so maybe we'll get to hook up again. I hope so!
I've told you all before, "DA Queen here, can't just have A DAY." Somepen's gonna happen. Well...on the way home today, the car in front of me ran over a piece of tire about the size of Texas that a semi truck had obviously blown and left on the highway. And...you guessed it. I couldn't do anything but run right over it myself. That wouldn't be so bad except I drive a VW Beetle. Oh yeah...tore that baby up too. I had to pull over and pull the broken parts off the front of the car and put them in the trunk. The Silver Bullet looks more like a spatula now. Nancy and I are fine, we were not hurt in the least, well...except for my pocketbook. I'll get the verdict tomorrow from my insurance company. Good Lord... but you know what? I wouldn't have missed that trip for anything in the world.
The women of Josephine, AL are absolutely awesome. There's no other way to put it. I was surrounded by love, warmth, and hey...they laughed exactly when they were suppose to during my speech so they have ALL been elevated to my expensive Christmas gift list. Not only that, the pictures they took don't even make me look like a basketball with teeth. I love those people! Oh...and they fed me. I almost didn't come home.
JJ

Oh, I'm so glad you're okay! Wow. Leave it to you to have something like that happen. I'm so jealous that the Boomers are getting to meet. Perhaps I'll meet Brenda soon. And JJ is sexy, huh??? Well, of course! Aren't we all????

JJ, Those hunks on the road (not gorgeous men), but pieces of tires are called alligators down here...I guess because of the alligators in the area. I personally have never ever seen one one the road of off, but my husband says he sees them all the time when he's on his train going to and from New Orleans...he says they get on the rails to sun themselves, hear the train coming, open their mouths to growl at the noisy beast coming towards them and then kur-plumk-ker-plunk....train 1...gator zero. The weirdest thing my husband has hit with a train was refrigerator...then there's the time he hit a cement park bench...and one driver (thankfully not him) hit a porta pottie some teenagers put on the tracks...guess they wanted to see the poop fly... I have no idea why I went off in that direction after hearing JJ talk about hitting a piece of a tire on the highway...guess that goes to show you...over 50 there's no telling where one ends up when one starts to talk about something...kindda reminds me of when I walk into a room and forgot what I went in there in the first place...go figure.. Anyway, JJ glad you're in one piece and I hope to have you down this way again soon. Next time I'll bring some of that coconut cake. I'm still reading and chuckling over your book...and thanks for signing it for me...I expect you to become really famous so I can get rich off it some day on ebay...
Love ya girl
Dee
