While in Sequim working in the
West Coast Sea Glass studio, I discovered that
Ree Drumond (The Pioneer Woman) would be signing books in Seattle. If your not familiar with her work then you probably aren't a FoodNetwork addict. Ree Drumond lives on a cattle ranch. She began blogging six years about food, photography, and life in the
middle of nowhere country. She has won awards for her blogs, where she demonstrates recipes through step-by-step photos.
I have a mild interest in her work, but my dad was quick to point out this event and his undying love. So, Jack and I decided to trek to
Third Place Books... along with over 700 of our closest, foodie friends.

After wandering the book store for an hour and a half, Jack was ready to terrorize the place. We did less listening to her talk and more throwing books off the shelves. I was able to overhear bits and pieces... There were lots of pictures, especially of
Charlie. She sang... sorta. There was even the mention of a possible move to Seattle? Despite his lack of interest, Jack made sure to clap at appropriate times with the rest of the audience.

Jack was fairly well behaved thanks to the large bookstore's food court and toddler play area. However at the 6 hour mark, we both started to melt.

I think Jack was wondering why we waited so long to see a lady color in books when his Mama is always saying not to do that.

Happy Birthday, Dad! ...a couple months early. I expect some damn
Peach Whiskey Chicken next week. And, Jack wants
Coffee Cream Cake. He told me so.
