Diane's busy making Thanksgiving dinner for her family. I have it easy - - just need to clean up the house a bit and make a couple of pies. We'll give you a progress report on Every Barn Tells a Story after we've eaten our fill of turkey.

I'm feeling good today. Lisa, our editor, is editing. Diane and I are going to snap a few more photos for Every Barn Tells a Story tomorrow at Mickmans Garden Center, Ham Lake, MN, (www.mickman.com) which has graciously offered us the opportunity to use their store for staging the photos. In addition to having wonderful plants for your garden, in season, they also have an extraordinary gift shop. Mickmans'building, although an old train station, is screaming for a barn quilt. I wonder if we'll be able to convince them to hang one. It sure would catch the attention of Hwy 65 passersby!

The highlight of my "good feel," though, is Tara Connor our graphic artist is pulling everything that Diane and I've been working on into one incredible book for you. Tara, Diane and I are meeting at Palmer Printing, our publisher, next week. We're on a roll!
