I hope none of you Spokanites got up early to see me on TV this morning! The appearance has been postponed to July 2, again, KXLY. I'll post a reminder in the blog ahead of time.
Saturday's KHQ appearance is still on, and so is the booksigning at the Northtown Barnes and Noble. 2-3 in the afternoon.
I'm really hoping to see some familiar faces from the past.

Birthday Bash!
Dad's 80th birthday celebration was a real bash--well-attended, and lots of fun. My gift was a surprise visit from our mutual friend, Peggy Knight, who flew in from Tennessee just for the occasion. (Caution: visits from Peggy may be hazardous to your weight loss program--she made biscuits and gravy this morning!)
Sadie's foot is healing well, and I'm happy to say she is no longer a conehead. The top of her paw is a little raw (rhyme not intended), from the bandage, but the incision is healed and she's really on the mend.
Looks like we might get a goose-drowner of a rain storm today. Makes for a cozy day inside, but sister Pam is flying back to Phoenix today, and I hope she doesn't get a bumpy ride!
Have you read "The Man from Stone Creek" yet? I have been listening to the unabriged audio on CD, (yes, I already know how it turns out!), and it's a kick to hear my own words read back to me in a deep cowboy voice.
Spokane and the surrounding area: if you're an early riser, look for me on TV tomorrow morning. KXLY (ABC), "Good Morning Northwest". I'll be on KHQ Saturday morning, probably in the 9 o'clock hour, and signing books from 2-3 the same day, at the Barnes & Noble on north Division. Come by and say howdy!

My Dad is 80 Today!
I'm just back from my Texas tour, and this big house is bursting at the seams with beloved company. Today, we're all off to Grand Coulee, 80 miles from here, where my dad will be celebrating his 80th birthday. Interestingly, it's my birthday, too. My brother and mother also share a birthday.
Sadie has her bandage off, and doesn't have to wear a plastic boot when she goes outside, but she has to wear the cone just a little longer, so she won't chew on her poor little paw. She bears it in good grace, as she does just about everything. She looks like the RCA dog, only instead of looking up at the gramophone, she's wearing it on her head!
Meanwhile, "The Man from Stone Creek" is available in book stores everywhere, and I'm getting some great feedback. Yesterday, I received copies of the audio book, and it was great fun to listen to my own words being read back to me.
A special hello to Maria and Brenda, two readers who showed up for a San Antonio autographing. I so enjoyed meeting you in person.
More on Monday.

Headed for Texas!
On my way to Texas tomorrow, and so looking forward to it!
"McKettrick's Pride", Rance and Echo's book, is finished.
Practically the moment I get home, I'll be starting the final story in the trilogy: "McKettrick's Heart." I can barely wait.
Sadie's on the mend, and Mary Ann, Jenni and Larry will be taking excellent care of her while I'm gone. In fact, by the time I get home, she might not be a conehead anymore!
I'll have stories to tell when I get back, as usual.
For those of you awaiting an answer to a personal email, I've been swamped, and I'm still deleting most forwards.

Sadie, Texas, and TV
Sadie is still a conehead, and she has a fresh bandage on her foot, as of yesterday afternoon. The Doc says she's healing nicely. Now, if she just doesn't tip her water dish over again...
Tomorrow, she goes back for another bandage. The vet says she's healing up nicely, and when the sutures come out, hopefully on Monday, the cone comes off. Of course I'll miss that great moment, because I'll be on a plane headed for Texas, where I will be between June 5 and June 9.
Here's some info, for you Texas folks.
On June 6, I'll tape a TV interview for "Metroplex Today", out of Arlington, for Comcast Cable.
That night, at 5:30-7:00, I'll be at Waldenbooks, in the mall in Hurst, Texas. The store's phone number is 817-589-1021. I'm hoping I get to meet a whole bunch of you there.
At 6:00AM on Wednesday, June 7, look for me on KSAT-ABC's "Good Morning San Antonio". June 8, from 7-8pm, I'll be at Barnes and Noble, on Fiesta Trail. 210-561-0718. San Antonio is one of my all-time favorite cities--here's hoping I get a chance to do the Riverwalk and shop a little!
Back home on the 9th, just in time to head to Grand Coulee the next day, for my dad's 80th birthday bash!
For the Spokane crowd, I'll be on KXLY's "Good Morning, Northwest" on June 14th, and at the Northtown Barnes and Noble, from 2-3 pm, on June 17th. I will also be on KHQ TV that morning, but I don't know the details yet. I'll pass them on when I do.
I was born in Spokane, and lived here for many years. I'm really hoping to reconnect with some old friends at that signing, and make some new ones, too.
