The wait is over. . .

Today's arrival from the UPS driver proved to be a happy event for us here. We had been waiting for more than a year for Cheryl Prater's new book "Mixed Mania". We felt like we were with her every step along the way during this long process of writing, editing, re-writing and re-editing.

Just look at the excitement on Joyce's face as she opened the box!
