i had the BEST time in LAKE PLACID at my very first signing!!  i wouldn’t have changed a thing!!  the bookstore plus had pizza and soda for everyone and the owners are awesome.  sarah and marc, you guys rock!  they recently took over the store from sarah’s mom and dad (nancy and chris, you’re both wonderful!)  this bookstore is the greatest place.  if you’re ever in the neighborhood, go in and say hi.  sarah and marc will help you find any book you need.  i made sure to find a few extra minutes to buy some of the best cards. 

i got to meet really great people last night.  i had been writing to these cool girls on myspace.  it was so cool to finally meet them in person!  sweet tonya and her three great boys; and the princess who is a rocking chick brought in her beautiful niece (i will be thinking good healthy thoughts for her as i’m on the road.)

i was honored to also meet marilyn from ottowa, i told you i wouldn’t forget!  lake placid high school library, enjoy the book!  judy and jennifer, the cutest mother and daughter, you guys made me miss my mom!  janice and dan who left their warm fire at the mirror lake inn and ran up to the store in the minus 20 degree cold (ok, so i’m exaggerating; it was really cold though!!); phyllis, alison, frank, paul, nita, emily, chelsea…the two most awesome ice hockey playing chicks!  the great group from northwood, thanks for coming in…and STAY WARM this winter!!  there were so many more wonderful people i was SOOO very honored to meet.  lake placid, you all made my first signing something i will never forget. 

i’m at my camp now on upper saranac lake.  today is all about packing it up for the winter.  it has been sooo cold yesterday and thursday.  today it’s supposed to get into the low 60s.  (i know all you southern states and west coasters  are going, what did she just write?!) yeah, not kidding.  it was 27 degrees this am.  there’s no central heat in my camp so it can get a bit chilly!  right now, i LOVE the people that created space heaters and electric blankets.   

word of mouth is working for before i go!  so thanks to all who are spreading the word.  please email me and let me know what you are thinking as you read.  i would really like to know and i’ll be waiting for your emails!  riley@rileyweston.com

again, thanks to everyone in lake placid for last night!  chamber of commerce for making room for my big honking motor home on main street!  all the great people i was fortunate enough to meet and the bookstore plus, the greatest bookstore with the most awesome owners!  thanks for everything!!!
