Get the feedFun evening
Tuesday, Aug 18th 2009
Last night, my husband and I took the kids out for a celebration dinner to commemorate the successful submission of a manuscript to our publisher. (We are co-authoring a book -- out in Fall of 2010 -- written during the year he was in Iraq.)
We drank champagne, ate good food, and had wonderful conversation. My ten year old, who loves reading, enjoys "talking shop" about writing. She has several little books she's written and illustrated, and enjoys talking to actual professionals.
So, last night was perfect for her. But at the end of the evening, the server brought us our fortune cookies -- things I normally leave on the table. Camille, however, grabbed hers and you won't believe what it said.
Of course, we don't believe in destiny as written in edible treats. However, it was a delightful and funny moment in a memorable evening together. Maybe by the time she does get published, her books won't all be about fairies.
